How do we know Jesus' goodwill towards men is true?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus demonstrated goodwill towards men by coming into the world in humility to save us from our sins.

Jesus’ goodwill towards men is manifested in His humble birth, life, and sacrificial death. His incarnation, where He chose to be born in a manger rather than a palace, exemplifies His willingness to connect with those of lowly status. The narrative of the shepherds' announcement emphasizes this point; they were among the least esteemed in society, yet they received the first revelation of Christ’s birth, signalling that salvation is for all, regardless of societal status.

Moreover, Jesus’ entire mission was characterized by compassion—He healed the sick, taught the marginalized, and ultimately died for the ungodly. This confirms His goodwill, as He actively sought to save those who had no natural desire to come to God. Romans 5:8 states, 'But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' The demonstration of God's love through Christ's redemptive work assures us of His everlasting goodwill.
