Who is the greatest Christian in the world?

18th century theologian William Law beautifully answers this question, which is the theme of this episode:

“Would you know who is the greatest saint in the world?...” (And whenever we use the word saint, that means Christian.)

“...It’s not who prays the most, or fasts the most. It’s not he who gives most alms, or who is most imminent for temperance, chastity, or justice, but it is to he who is always thankful to God. Who wills and wants everything that God wills, and who receives everything in his life as an instance of God’s goodness, and therefore always has a heart that is ready to praise and thank God for it.”

I believe this is a big deal, and in my opinion, thanksgiving should be at the heart of our prayer life.

As the apostle Paul says, our lives should overflow with gratitude, because, when that happens, it makes such a difference in our life, and in our own personal health.
