What does the Bible say about being merciful?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy (Matthew 5:7).

In Matthew 5:7, we find the beatitude that states, 'Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.' This teaching emphasizes the importance of reflecting God's mercy in our own lives. Being merciful is not merely a sentiment but involves active compassion and kindness towards others, especially those in need. Jesus illustrates this principle throughout His ministry, emphasizing that true mercy is rooted in understanding the depth of God's mercy towards us.
