How does mercy relate to our ministry as Christians?

In 2 Corinthians 4:1, Paul asserts that 'seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not.' This emphasizes that our ability to engage in the ministry is solely due to God's mercy extended to us. We are not called based on our qualifications or worthiness but because of the grace of God that has been lavished upon us. Our ministry, therefore, flows from a place of gratitude and acknowledgment of this mercy. It grants us resilience when facing challenges and encourages us to faithfully share the gospel, knowing it is rooted in the mercy we have received.
