Let's Put The “Thanks” Back In Thanksgiving

The following thoughts are from the Bulletin Digest and were in a recent Montana Street bulletin:

The inspired writers of the New Testament have consistently pointed us toward the expression of thanks. Paul goes so far as to tell the saints at Thessalonica to “give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

We indeed have much to be thankful for.

As this Thanksgiving season approaches, the following are some Scriptures associated with what true Thanksgiving is all about:

T-ruth — “We shall know the truth and the truth will set us free” (John 8:32). “Sanctify them in truth, thy word is truth” (John 17:17).

H-eaven — “Let not your hearts be troubled …. in my Father’s house are many rooms …. and I go to prepare a place for you” (John 14:1-2).

A-bundance — “I have come that they might have life, and …. have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

N-ewness of life — “We are buried with Him by baptism into death …. in order that …. we too may live a new life” (Romans 6:4).

K-ingdom of God — “Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prefail against it” (Matthew 16:18).

S-alvation — “He became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey Him” (Hebrews 5:9).

G-iving — “The goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance” (Romans 2:4).

I-identification — “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God” (1 Peter 2:9).

V-ictory over death — “Death has been swallowed up in victory” (1 Corinthians 15:54).

I-nheritance — “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ” (Romans 8:17).

N-o condemnation — “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).

G-ift of the Son — “For God so loved the world that on the cross He gave His one and only Son” (John 3:16).
