One of the most impossible acts for an unregenerate individual to do is to thank Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS and since the majority of humanity rejects Almighty God's RIGHTEOUSNESS, how many billions of individuals are truly thankful to their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS CREATOR for His mercy and goodness to each one of us (Psalm 14, Rom.1:18-32; 10:2-4; 1 John 4:10)?
Are you truly thankful in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God?
It's easy to "praise" Almighty God and thank Him when everything seems to be going "our" way (Prov.14:.12). Apart from a saving relationship to Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS (John 3:16-17; 1 John 4:10).; we see this hypocrisy all the time expressed and redefined in the unthankful unregenerate hearts of fallen humanity. Some examples of this expressed unrighteous thanksgiving to God are found in the sports world, Hollywood, politics or in general life (Isa. 5:20). I don't doubt that many are truly "thankful" in their hearts and minds but not in RIGHTEOUSNESS and that is where the great deception lies (Prov. 14:12; John 3:19-20; Eph. 2:1-2; Rev. 11:7-12). True thanksgiving begins when one enters into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ in RIGHTEOUSNESS!
This Thanksgiving are you truly thankful to Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS or have you established your own altered world along with your own altered world of thanksgiving?
True thanksgiving begins when one enters into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ in RIGHTEOUSNESS (John 1:12; 1 Cor. 1:28-30; 1 John 4:10). From then on true thanksgiving in RIGHTEOUSNESS will truly become a way of life and harmony with our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS CREATOR until we are with Him FOREVERMORE (Psalm 107:1-2; Rom. 7:24-25; 2 Cor. 2:14; 9:15; Gal. 5:22-23; 1 Thes. 5:18)! It will be then in ETERNITY that PERFECT RIGHTEOUS THANKSGIVING will be expressed with ALL ETERNAL UNSPEAKABLE JOY (Rev. 22:1-5)!!
Give THANKS to the Lord for His mercy endures FOREVER!
What a great NEVER ENDING blessed ETERNAL hope with THANKSGIVING for the redeemed child of Almighty God to possess in such lawless and godless days!
The Kingdom of God is truly at hand!
.
True Thanksgiving is more CAPITAL LETTERS!
I am grateful whenever I drive down a wide, clean street or walk down an aisle at Costco. Do people realize how few souls, now or ever in history, have enjoyed such a bounty of prosperity and standard of living? And how evil politicians, the media and academicians are sparing no effort to take that all away from us? The talking heads are desperate to wean us off of prosperity by telling us to lower our expectations and to consume less. Because they know what’s coming, thanks to the Democrats.
Amen! I do the same! Zombies of unthankfulness! Also how many milk the system, have money given to them for food by big gov and eat like kings, while always playing the victim...
