God is Gracious- God's Character 2

2. Hanan:
This describes God’s graciousness and pity.

He sees the desperate place of those before Him and chooses to help them. God sees the repentant and how they need His presence, and He grants them forgiveness. God sees the slaves and gives them deliverance. God sees the oppressed and grants them freedom.

Jesus used the parable of the Good Samaritan to describe this characteristic of God, for he had pity on the man dying on the side of the road. And Jesus says that we are to have this characteristic of mercy or pity, and if we have it to others, then we will receive it from God.
