Why is God's mercy important in seeking Him?

In seeking the Lord, understanding His mercy is paramount because it reveals the nature of God as gracious and loving. The sermon highlights that to seek God's glory is to recognize His redemptive plan through His mercy. When Moses asked to see God's glory, God responded with a declaration of His mercy (Exodus 33:19). This notion is essential for believers as it presents God's willingness to save and deliver sinful humanity through Jesus Christ. Seeking His mercy provides hope and assurance of salvation, drawing believers into a deeper relationship with Him based on gratitude and reliance on His finished work.
