El sermón "En cuanto a mí," predicado por Joel Coyoc, aborda el tema de la satisfacción del creyente en la misericordia de Dios a la luz del Salmo 17. El predicador contrasta la vida del salmista, que confía en el Señor, con la de los "hombres mundanos" que buscan satisfacción en las cosas temporales. Coyoc utiliza el versículo 15 del salmo, "En cuanto a mí, veré tu rostro en justicia," para enfatizar la certeza y la esperanza del creyente de ver a Dios y ser transformado en su semejanza. A lo largo del sermón, se citan pasajes como Efesios 2:4-5 y Juan 6:44, que subrayan la obra de la misericordia divina y la necesidad de refugiarse en Jesucristo. La aplicación práctica de la doctrina subraya que la verdadera satisfacción y esperanza del creyente no provienen de las bendiciones terrenales, sino de la relación con Dios a través de Cristo, el cual es su justicia y redención.

The Bible teaches that God's mercy is profound and is the foundation of our salvation, as seen in passages like Ephesians 2:4-5.
God's mercy is a central theme in Scripture, demonstrating His compassionate nature toward humanity, especially in our fallen state. In Ephesians 2:4-5, we learn that 'God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ.' This highlights that our very salvation is a direct result of God's mercy and grace. Additionally, the psalmist expresses a personal testimony of experiencing God's wonderful mercies, emphasizing that it is by grace we have been given new life and sight to see the reality of our salvation in Christ. It is through understanding God's mercy that we find refuge and true satisfaction.
Ephesians 2:4-5, Titus 3:4-6, Psalm 17:15
The assurance of seeing God's face in righteousness comes from our standing in Christ, as highlighted in passages like 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Our confidence in seeing God's face in righteousness is rooted in the exchange we have in Christ. In 2 Corinthians 5:21, it states, 'For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.' This underscores that through faith in Christ, we are not only justified but also given a right standing before God. The psalmist’s declaration, 'I shall see your face in righteousness,' reflects this assurance that believers will one day behold God's glory. Because of Christ's work on our behalf, His righteousness is credited to us, allowing us to stand before God without fear on the Day of Judgment.
2 Corinthians 5:21, Psalm 17:15, Hebrews 1:3
Seeking satisfaction in God is crucial because true fulfillment comes only from Him, as illustrated in Psalm 73:25-26.
For Christians, seeking satisfaction in God is of the utmost importance as He alone can fulfill the deepest longings of the heart. Psalm 73:25-26 eloquently expresses this sentiment: 'Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.' This passage reveals that earthly treasures will always lead to dissatisfaction, while true joy and fulfillment come from knowing and being in relationship with God. Moreover, in a world filled with temporary pleasures, our ultimate contentment is found in God alone, reinforcing our identity as His chosen people.
Psalm 73:25-26, John 10:10, Philippians 4:19
