What does the Bible say about the kindness of God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible illustrates God's kindness as demonstrated in the actions of David toward Mephibosheth and contrasts that with Hanun's insulted response.

The Bible emphasizes God's kindness through various examples, with 2 Samuel 9 providing a clear representation of David's kindness to Mephibosheth. This act of graciousness underscores the sovereign grace of God extended to His elect. In 2 Samuel 10, however, we see another facet of God’s kindness as demonstrated by David toward Hanun, the son of Nahash, who, despite receiving a friendly gesture, insulted David's servants. This incident highlights the duality of God’s grace—offered freely yet often rejected by those who remain in spiritual death. The kindness of God is evident, showing His willingness to reach out even to those outside His covenant people, as illustrated by David's actions since they reflect the kindness of Christ, who calls all to repentance and faith.
