Only the Christian religion, which in its essence is communicated by the eternal child of God, keeps alive in its believers the lifelong awareness of their being children, and therefore of having to ask and give thanks for things.

About This Quote

The Christian religion keeps alive the awareness of its followers that they are children, and therefore have to ask and give thanks for things. In many ways, the Christian religion is a gift from God. We all know that God has chosen to call us his children. Christians feel a deep sense of responsibility to follow the will of their Heavenly Father.

Every time we experience a blessing from God, we should thank him for choosing us as his children. This is the way that we earn our salvation and eternal life with him.
