How do we know that God shows mercy to sinners?

Answered in 2 sources

God's mercy is evident in His willingness to save even those who are undeserving, as exemplified in the life of Paul (1 Timothy 1:12-13).

God's mercy is beautifully illustrated in Scripture, particularly through the life of Paul, who describes himself as a blasphemer and persecutor of the church. Despite his former life of sin, he received mercy because he acted in ignorance and unbelief (1 Timothy 1:12-13). This example highlights that God's mercy is not based on our worthiness, but rather on His grace. God's word reassures us that it is not our actions or merits that lead to mercy, but His abundant love and grace that reach out to save those who would otherwise be lost. This grace assures us that anyone, regardless of their past, can find forgiveness and renewal in Christ.
