How do we know the doctrine of God's mercy is true?

Answered in 3 sources

We know God's mercy is true through the revelation of His character in Jesus Christ and the assurance it brings to our hearts.

The doctrine of God’s mercy is affirmed through the person of Jesus Christ, who embodies God’s love and grace towards sinners. John 14:1 encourages believers to recognize Jesus as the manifestation of God's character, giving insight into His merciful nature. The gospel invites us to approach God with confidence, assured of His mercy and reconciliation through Christ.

Furthermore, personal experiences of grace and answered prayers strengthen the conviction of God's mercy in the believer's life. When one feels the love of God shed abroad in their heart and witnesses God as a present help in times of trouble, it confirms not only the truth of God's mercy but also the intimate relationship He desires to have with His children. This experiential knowledge, alongside the scriptural testimony, solidifies beliefs around God's merciful disposition towards humanity.
