Episode notes
All We Receive From God Is Mercy
- John Piper emphasizes that everything believers receive from God is mercy rather than deserved reward.
- He grounds this claim in multiple Scripture references showing mercy as the basis of salvation and daily help.
Small Faith Taps Massive Divine Power
- Piper points out that the power that accomplishes great things is God's, not the quantity of our faith.
- A mustard-seed-sized faith connects us to sufficient divine power for any need.
Remain Dependent Even In Obedience
- Remember that obedience does not move you out of dependence on God's mercy according to Jesus' teaching in Luke 17:7–10.
- After doing all commanded, call yourself an unworthy servant and continue to rely on mercy.
