How do we know that God's mercy is for all people?

Answered in 1 source

Jonah's mission to Nineveh illustrates that God's mercy extends beyond Israel to all nations.

The story of Jonah stands as a testament to the breadth of God's mercy. Although Jonah initially flees from God's command to preach to Nineveh, God's intention was to save the 120,000 inhabitants of that city, as noted in Jonah 4:11. This indicates a divine concern not only for Israel but also for Gentiles. God's willingness to relent from judgment reflects His compassion and desire for all to turn from their wicked ways. Thus, we see that God's mercy is extensive and envelops even those we might deem unworthy of grace.
