How do we know that God's mercy is evident in the world?

God's mercy is profoundly demonstrated in His redemptive plan for humanity, particularly through the sacrificial work of Jesus Christ. As seen in the gospel, God chose to take on human flesh and bear the sins of His people, which is a striking manifestation of mercy. The angels desire to understand the depths of this grace, as noted in the sermon, reflecting the astonishment at God’s willingness to redeem those who have fallen into sin. This plan, initiated before the foundation of the world, serves as a testament to God’s unwavering commitment to His people and His glory, showing that mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:13).
