How do we know that God's kindness is real?

God's kindness is clearly manifest in the sending of His Son, Jesus Christ, to save sinners. Ephesians 2:4-5 reveals that God's mercy towards us is rooted in His great love, even while we were dead in our sins. The account in 2 Samuel 10 parallels this kindness as David sent servants to comfort Hanun, showing goodwill even to enemies. This act symbolizes how God initiates salvation, offering His kindness regardless of our past, ultimately inviting us to find comfort and forgiveness in Christ (Titus 3:5).
