How does God show compassion to sinners?

Answered in 1 source

God shows compassion to sinners by seeking the lost and offering mercy through Christ.

God's compassion is vividly illustrated through Jesus Christ, who came to seek and save sinners. In Matthew 9:36, Jesus is moved with compassion as He sees people lost and helpless, akin to sheep without a shepherd. This compels Him to minister to their needs, both physically and spiritually. God's compassion does not overlook sin; rather, it drives Him to provide a remedy through the sacrifice of His Son. The parables of the lost sheep and the prodigal son illustrate this compassionate pursuit, portraying God as actively seeking those who are far from Him. Understanding this compassionate nature leads to a deeper appreciation of salvation and encourages believers to reflect this mercy in their own lives.
