How do we know that Jesus is merciful?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus' merciful nature is demonstrated by His actions, such as healing Bartimaeus, who cried out for mercy.

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus' mercy is displayed in His interactions with sinners, the suffering, and the marginalized. In the story of Bartimaeus, Jesus stops to attend to the blind man's pleas, illustrating His willingness to respond to those who seek Him in faith. As affirmed in Scripture, 'the Lord, the Lord God merciful' is central to His identity. This act of listening to the cries of Bartimaeus further evidences His compassion and grace, showing that He delights in extending mercy to those who recognize their need for help.
