Why should Christians seek mercy from God?

Seeking mercy from God is fundamental for Christians as it acknowledges our spiritual blindness and helplessness. The story of Bartimaeus illustrates that those who recognize their need for mercy are the ones who seek it fervently. In doing so, we align ourselves with the truth that without God's grace, we are incapable of achieving righteousness on our own. Daily seeking God's mercy fosters a deeper relationship with Him and reminds us of the continual need for His sustaining grace throughout our lives.
