Pay with Vows of Thanksgiving!

18I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people," (Psalm 116: 18)''

If there is one oath for any of us to keep before God, it is that we believe on His Son!

"And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." (Matthew 16: 16)

Jesus allayed the demands and concerns of the Israelites during His earthly ministry:

"Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." (John 6: 29)

So, what really can we give God? He gives us life, and all things pertaining to His life in us:

"According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:" (2 Peter 1: 3)

and

"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8: 32)

He is doing all the giving.

What is left for us to pay?

"By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name." (Hebrews 13: 15)
