How do we know that God is merciful?

Answered in 4 sources

God's mercy is demonstrated through His willingness to forgive and restore His people, as seen in Hosea 14:4 where He promises to heal their backslidings.

The mercy of God is vividly portrayed in Hosea 14:4, where He promises, 'I will heal their backslidings; I will love them freely, for mine anger is turned away from him.' This illustrates God's nature as inherently merciful and loving, desiring reconciliation with His people even when they stray. The invitation to repentance and the promise of forgiveness reveal a God who actively seeks to restore relationship with sinners. Throughout scripture, God's mercy is shown through His actions, grace, and the sacrificial love exemplified in Jesus Christ, making it clear that He delights in mercy and seeks to bring His people back to Himself.
