Mercy should never make its recipient arrogant.
It should make us worship—and transform the way we see those who are still far from God.
Romans 9 removes every reason for spiritual pride. Our heritage cannot save us. Our goodness cannot qualify us. Our effort cannot earn God’s favor.
We were not rescued because we were better at being lost.
We were rescued because God is merciful.
This week’s devotional, Why Mercy at All?, explores the sovereign mercy of God and the freedom of obeying Him from gratitude—not to earn the favor Jesus has already secured.
