What does the Bible say about God's mercy towards sinners?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible illustrates God's mercy through stories like Joseph and his brethren, demonstrating His grace towards those who do not deserve it.

The account of Joseph and his brethren in Genesis 45 serves as a powerful illustration of God's mercy towards sinners. Joseph, despite being wronged by his brothers who sold him into slavery, later reveals himself to them and offers forgiveness and sustenance during a time of famine. This act of mercy is akin to the grace God shows to humanity; despite our depravity and rebellion, He extends His love through Jesus Christ, who came to save sinners. Romans 3:10 reminds us that 'there is none righteous, no, not one,' highlighting our unworthiness, yet God’s mercy is depicted as a free gift to the undeserving.
