“…when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” (Matthew 6:5-8)
The simple prayers of those who pray “in secret” are rewarded in accordance with what God the Father knows we need. One thing that all of us need is to be reconciled with God, and He is in the process of doing so.
“…God is reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation…God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians 5:19-21)
So, what does this reconciliation accomplish for humanity?
“...the free gift of God is eternal life…" (Romans 6:23b)
