How do we know that God's mercy is sufficient for salvation?
Answered in 2 sources
We know God's mercy is sufficient because it is based on His character, not our actions, and is offered to all who recognize their need as sinners.
God's mercy is demonstrated in his readiness to forgive sin, which Paul emphasizes in his own testimony. In 1 Timothy 1:13-14, Paul states that he obtained mercy not because of his worthiness, but due to God's abundant grace. This mercy is not a result of ignorance; rather, it signifies God's willingness to forgive despite our failures. God's mercy is sovereign; He gives it freely to whom He will, highlighting that it is not dependent on our acts but rather on His loving nature. Thus, the ample sufficiency of God's mercy becomes evident as it covers even the chief of sinners.
