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

Answered in 3 sources

God's mercy is demonstrated through the life and actions of Jesus, who reaches out to sinners as shown in Mark 5.

The story of the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5 illustrates God's mercy toward sinners. Despite her unclean status and her prolonged suffering, she approached Jesus in faith, believing that His power could heal her. Jesus responded not only by healing her but also by addressing her as 'Daughter,' which signifies acceptance and relationship. Romans 9:23 affirms that God has prepared vessels of mercy for His glory. This reveals that God's mercy is not limited but is available to all who, like the woman, recognize their need and come to Him in faith, regardless of their past or present circumstances. The narrative exemplifies the grace extended to sinners who come to Christ in humility and trust.
