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!
And drumsticks, don’t forget the drumsticks. Meat with handles.
“Are You Truly Thankful in RIGHTEOUSNESS?”
I’m not worthy of being in His Righteousness, yet. I’m
still working on it.
Rom 10:4 my friend; His Righteous is our in Jesus; we just have to our part by faith till His Day; Col. 1:27😊☝️
Happy Thanksgiving!
Good post about loving righteousness.
