What does the Bible say about Thanksgiving?
Good Deeds Produce Thanksgiving
Jesus died upon the cross to purify for Himself, a group of people zealous for good deeds (Tit 2:14).
As Jesus's people, we work diligently in our Lord's kingdom, to do the good works God prepared beforehand (Eph 2:10).
As do the Lord's work, we affect the lives others. The result is thanksgiving, directed toward God. People in the world see our good works and glorify God.
Let you light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven (Mat 5:16)
Good deeds directed toward our brethren produce thanksgiving to God (2 Corinthians 9:10-11)
We learn to give of
- our time
- our attentions
- our abundance
- our love
- our patience
- ourselves
- God multiplies whatever you give Him
We are devoted to prayer with an attitude of thanksgiving (Col 4:1-4)
2 Devote yourself to prayer, keeping alert in it with attitude of thanksgiving;
We are to live a thankful life (1 The 5:14-18)
18 in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus
A thankful life is a prayerful life. A life void of prayer is an unthankful life.
The angels in heaven give thanks to God and so will we. (Rev 11:15-19)
17 "we give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.
When we get to heave, we will give thanks forever (Rev 7:9-12)
12 saying "Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen".
Every day is Thanksgiving for Christians
Whatever you do during this busy life, remember to give thanks and live in such a way that others, who watch you and experience God's goodness for your hands, can't help but pause and offer up a prayer to express their thanks.
This is how others will begin to thank God which He truly deserves!
