Why is remembering God’s mercy significant for believers?

In the sermon, Jacob's response to God's merciful dealings with him highlights the importance of remembering God's mercy. This reflection prompts the believer to acknowledge their unworthiness and spurs gratitude toward God for His grace. Ephesians 2:4-5 illustrates that while we were dead in our sins, God, being rich in mercy, made us alive in Christ. Such remembrance not only cultivates humility but also enhances the believer's faith and reliance upon God's ongoing grace, as seen in the lives of biblical figures who continually recalled God's past mercies to strengthen their faith for present challenges.
