Who can cry out to God?

The privilege to cry out to God is extended to all who acknowledge their need as sinners. As highlighted in the sermon, it is particularly the humble and contrite who can genuinely cry out for mercy. This aligns with the biblical teaching that Christ Jesus came to save sinners, as emphasized in the testimonies of saints both in the Old and New Testaments. The act of crying signifies an awareness of spiritual bankruptcy and a desperation for God's graceful response. Thus, the ability to cry to God is itself a gift of grace, drawing us into a relationship of dependency upon Him.
