We know God cares for people through His actions in the Bible, particularly in His grace and patience towards sinners.
God’s care for humanity is exemplified in His dealings with Jonah and the people of Nineveh. Throughout the book, God's patience with Jonah reveals His loving nature and desire for all to come to repentance. His intervention to save a city filled with wickedness illustrates His profound compassion for lost souls. The Lord's question to Jonah, 'Should I not spare Nineveh?' resonates as a testament to God's heart for those who cannot discern right from wrong. This concern for the lost echoes throughout scripture, seen in the sending of Christ and His ministry dedicated to saving sinners, affirming that God's love extends to all people.
