If someone were to buy you a brand new car, it'd be hard to explain to them that you destroyed it during a demolition derby.
If somebody baked you a cake, would you tell them that you left it out for the neighborhood cat?
How we treat gifts says something about our respect for the giver of them. We honor people who give us gifts by treating those gifts well.
So when you think about God giving you the gift of eternal salvation, saving our lives, we should treat our lives well in gratitude for what God has given us. Jesus Christ gave us hope in redeeming us and purifying us -- so let us treat that hope well. May we live honorable lives, and in so doing, bring honor and glory to the one who has given us the gift of life!
