A Lenten Collect of Thanks for God’s Offer of Salvation

Gracious Father, who desires such good for your children, we thank you and praise you for your great love for us, desiring that we might be rescued from our own foolishness and self-destruction. Grant that we might receive the gift you offer and that the world might be saved through your Son, through him who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in great love and joy forever and ever. Amen. “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” – John 3:17
