How do we know our need for mercy?

Answered in 1 source

Our need for mercy is evident when we recognize our spiritual blindness and inability to save ourselves.

We come to know our need for mercy through the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. Scripture teaches that we are all spiritually blind until God opens our eyes, as highlighted in the sermon. Bartimaeus, despite his physical blindness, had the spiritual insight to recognize Jesus as the one who could heal him. In the same way, we must understand our condition—our hearts often deceive us into thinking we are self-sufficient. Acknowledging our need for mercy is the first step toward receiving it, as it leads us to cry out to God for help.
