Thoughts on Prayer
Prayer is the worship of our Almighty God. Totally depraved men are given the privilege of access, not by their righteousness, but by the imputed righteousness of Christ.
The Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 3:25, “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.”
It is a privilege given only to the redeemed of God, to those whom Christ has purchased by His once-for-all completed work on the cross at Calvary.
John 1:12 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”
Galatians 4:6 “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.”
