How do we know that God's mercy is true?

Answered in 10 sources

God's mercy is demonstrated throughout Scripture, particularly through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which fulfills the requirements of divine justice.

The truth of God's mercy is underlined throughout Scripture, especially in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, who bore the weight of our sins. As seen in Psalm 51, David pleads for mercy not based on his own righteousness, but according to God's lovingkindness. This reliance on God's nature assures us that His mercy is genuine and effective. Ultimately, God's mercy is not merely a subjective feeling; it is a concrete reality enacted through Christ's atonement. Therefore, to know God's mercy is to acknowledge our helplessness and place our trust fully in His provision through Jesus, the righteous one.
