The Bible portrays God's compassion as unwavering and immutable, shown through His actions and willingness to deliver His people from their afflictions.
God's compassion is depicted throughout Scripture as a core aspect of His nature. In Acts 7:34, God reveals His compassion by stating, 'I have seen the affliction of my people.' This indicates that He is not indifferent to our struggles and hears our groanings. His compassion is immutable, unlike human emotions that can change based on circumstances. The Lord's compassion leads Him to actively deliver His people from sin and its effects, providing hope and restoration through Jesus Christ.
