Gratitude

“When we practice good deeds based on the virtues of Christ, we express our gratitude to God for our salvation. How so? We show we are enthusiastic about God’s purposes in the world and want to make them our own. We show we want to get with God’s program of rebuilding harmony, justice, and delight. We show that we want to be agents of the Kingdom of God. Acting like this, we are Godly people, and nothing could show our gratitude any better.”
