What does the Bible say about compassion from God?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible emphasizes that God is full of compassion and reaches out to humanity in their need, as demonstrated in the parable of the Good Samaritan.
In the Bible, particularly in Psalm 86:15, it is stated, 'But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.' This reveals God's character as compassionate and willing to act on behalf of those in distress. The parable of the Good Samaritan illustrates this compassion vividly, where the Samaritan goes out of his way to care for a wounded traveler. This act serves as a reminder that God cares for us even in our worst situations, showing that His compassion is not just theoretical but is actively demonstrated in our lives.
