In the Old Testament, we have in great detail, at times, the compassion of God. He is compassionate by nature, “The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin…” (Exodus 34:6-7a). God shows compassion as a parent (Psalm 103:13 and 14). Psalm 145:8 and 9 read, “The Lord is gracious and merciful; Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness. The Lord is good to all, And His mercies are over all His works.” His compassion is shown to those in deep trouble, to sinners, and to those who repent. The deeds of God show his compassion (Psalm 111:3 and 4). His compassion is essential to the well-being of all believers (Psalm 119:77).
