Prayer to Give Thanks for Mercy and the New Birth in Christ
"Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other.
But when God our Savior revealed His kindness and love, He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.
He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. Because of His grace he made us right in his sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life." — Titus 3:3-7 (NLT)
