How do we know mercy is true?

Answered in 1 source

Mercy is affirmed in Scripture as a core attribute of God, substantiated by His continuous actions toward humanity.

The truth of mercy is strongly substantiated by Scripture, starting from the Old Testament through the New Testament. In Psalm 103:17, it's stated, 'the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting,' indicating not only the presence of mercy but its enduring nature. This is further illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, who modelled perfect mercy, compassion, and grace throughout His interactions with people. The beatitude in Matthew 5:7 serves as a reminder that mercy is both received and extended; believing in the mercy we have received from God allows us to recognize and trust in its truth. The assurance of mercy is manifest in believers’ lives as they reflect God's character through acts of kindness and compassion.
