"The Giving of Thanks"

 

“The Giving of Thanks”

 

Always thanking the Father.  He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to His people, who live in the light.    Colossians 1:12

 

THANKSGIVING, ONE day set aside, in which we offer THANKSGIVING to the one who prepares the meal, the one who opens their homes for the gathering of the family members, OH, yeah, we ARE SUPPOSE to THANK GOD TOO, MAYBE!  For some this is nothing more than a DAY set aside for families to get together, and PIG OUT!  OVER-EAT, GLUTTONY?

 

The Apostle Paul, says that we should, ALWAYS give THANKS to our HEAVENLY FATHER, GOD, which means, EVERYDAY, we SHOULD THANK God for His GOODNESS and His BLESSINGS.  But MOST IMPORTANT of ALL, is THANKING Him for making it possible for the TRUE BELIEVER to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, after you are there. And to be ABLE to GAIN an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  And for them to be able to SHARE in that INHERITANCE, which is made POSSIBLE to those who LIVE in the LIGHT of the KINGDOM of GOD, those who are TRUE BELIEVERS in God’s Son the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who SUFFERED, BLED and DIED, in order to SAVE MANKIND from an ETERNITY in HELL, and to PROVIDE an ETERNITY in HEAVEN.

 

We should give THANKS to God, EVERYDAY, for His MERCY, RESCUING US from the kingdom of darkness, and His GRACE, bringing us into the KINGDOM of LIGHT, the KINGDOM of His SON, Jesus Christ, the ONE who purchased our FREEDOM, with His OWN life, and FORGAVE ALL OUR SINS.  For the TRUE BELIEVER, those who have come to the foot of the Cross, and have ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST as their SAVIOR and LORD, EVERYDAY should be a DAY of GIVING THANKS, to the ALMIGHTY GOD and His SON.

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are probably offering THANKS ONE day, each year, for TEMPORARY things that will one day be gone, and you will be FACING a VERY BLEAK, PERMANENT situation.  You will be FACING an ETERNITY in HELL, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, unless you are WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and be able to GIVE THANKS, EVERYDAY for your ETERNAL INHERITANCE, of HEAVEN, because of GOD’S ABUNDANT MERCY and His AMAZING GRACE.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
