God, Thanks for Saving Me

52 Simple Prayers for 2018

Religion is complex; Christianity is simple. Religion is about what you have to do; Christianity is about what God has done! Religion requires you to sacrifice to appease your god; Christianity required God to sacrifice his Son to appease himself. In religion, you pay; in Christianity, Jesus paid it all. Religious faith is about works; Christian faith is about belief. Religion leads to death; Christianity leads to life. Need I say more?

“ Everyone has sinned and is far away from God’s saving presence. But by the free gift of God’s grace all are put right with him through Christ Jesus, who sets them free.

—ROMANS 3:23-24

A Simple Prayer of Eternal Gratitude:

God, thank you for your mercy—you didn’t give me what I deserved. Thank you for your grace—you gave me what I didn’t deserve. You didn’t give me hell; you gave me heaven. Thank you for making it easy for me by making it hard on Jesus. Thank you for Christianity, thank you for Jesus, thank you for you! I will be forever grateful.
