El sermón titulado "Tú me oirás" predicado por Joel Coyoc en base al Salmo 17:7-9, aborda la doctrina de la oración y la misericordia de Dios. El predicador enfatiza que la posibilidad de orar proviene del sacrificio de Cristo, quien a través de su sangre nos abrió el acceso al trono de la gracia. Coyoc argumenta que el salmista invoca al Señor porque confía en que sus oraciones serán escuchadas y respondidas, lo cual se fundamenta en la revelación del carácter misericordioso de Dios. Se mencionan varios pasajes que corroboran esta confianza, incluyendo 1 Juan 5:14-15 sobre la certeza de ser escuchados cuando pedimos conforme a Su voluntad, y Hebreos 4:16 que habla de acercarnos con confianza al trono de gracia. La importancia práctica de este sermón radica en la comprensión de que la oración no es un mero acto religioso, sino una dependencia espiritual hacia Dios, quien cuida y responde a sus hijos, especialmente en tiempos de aflicción.

Prayer is the privilege of the believer, allowing direct access to God through Jesus Christ, who paid the ultimate price for our ability to pray.
The Bible presents prayer as a vital means of communication between the believer and God. It emphasizes that it is through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that we have access to the throne of grace. As believers, we approach God in prayer not merely to be heard but to engage with Him, trusting that He will respond. The act of praying is profound and involves the acknowledgment of God’s character as one who is rich in mercy, capable of answering our pleas. Throughout Scripture, we see that prayer is not only about presenting our requests but also about deepening our relationship with God, growing in understanding and reliance on Him as we face life's afflictions.
Psalm 17:7-9, Ephesians 2:18
We know God hears our prayers because of His promises in Scripture and the assurance given to us through Christ’s atoning work.
God’s readiness to hear our prayers is firmly anchored in His divine character and the work of Christ. Psalm 17 highlights that the psalmist prays out of the confidence that God is listening, grounded in His nature as one who saves those who seek refuge in Him. Additionally, the New Testament reassures believers that when we come to God through Christ, we can be assured that our prayers are not only heard but answered. Jesus demonstrated an intimate relationship with the Father, which includes being always heard, and as members of His body, we share in that assurance. This foundational truth inspires believers to continue praying, knowing that God actively responds to our cries for help.
Psalm 17:7-9, John 11:41-42, Hebrews 5:7
God's mercy is crucial for Christians because it provides us with forgiveness, refuge, and the assurance of salvation through Jesus Christ.
The mercy of God stands as a cornerstone of Christian faith and experience. It is through God's abundant mercy that we find forgiveness of sins and the promise of salvation. The psalmist calls upon God to demonstrate His 'marvelous mercies,' which are reminders of His character as one who delights in showing compassion and grace, especially in times of need. This mercy is not only historical but alive today, as believers reflect on how God continually shows His kindness and faithfulness. The acknowledgment of God's mercy motivates us to approach Him boldly in prayer, knowing that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. Moreover, understanding God's mercy compels Christians to extend grace to others, embodying the very essence of Christ’s love received.
Psalm 17:7, Ephesians 2:4-5, Micah 7:18
