Question
Can any of us rightly feel entitled to receive Jehovah’s mercy? Explain
.None of us should feel that we are entitled to receive Jehovah’s mercy even if we have spent many years in his service. Of course, Jehovah appreciates our record of faithfulness. (Heb. 6:10) He gave us his Son as a free gift, not as payment for services rendered. If we were to claim that we have earned mercy or that we are entitled to special consideration, we would, in effect, be saying that Christ died for nothing.—Compare Galatians 2:21.

None of us should feel entitled to receive Jehovah’s mercy, regardless of our years of service. Mercy is a gift from God, not something we can earn through our deeds. Claiming entitlement undermines the significance of Christ's sacrifice, which is given freely rather than as payment for our actions.
