    "Thieves Of Thankfulness”

    Contributed by Bubot Parago on Oct 27, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,429 views

    We become part of God's family through baptism and the spiritual cleansing it gives us. Through the spiritual cleansing, we gain a new, child-like nature that allows us to be hopelessly dependent on Christ for salvation.
