How do we know that God's mercy extends to sinners?

Answered in 1 source

God's mercy is evident in Scripture, where He sends His Word and messengers to save the chief of sinners, demonstrating His desire to redeem.

The Bible affirms God's mercy towards sinners through the sending of His messengers, such as the spies in Joshua 2, who went to the home of Rahab, a harlot. God’s intention is clear: He seeks to save those who are seen as unworthy by society. The narrative of Rahab exemplifies this mercy—despite her sinful past, she is considered worthy of salvation because of her faith. As Paul states in Romans 5:8, 'But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us,' emphasizing that divine mercy is available even to the most wretched among us.
