Why not giving thanks leads to ruinRomans 1 shows the decline of man ending in great wickedness, starting from a failure to honor God or give thanks.Romans 1:21
The first step of backslidingStopping the habit of giving thanks is the very beginning of backsliding, even before outward evidence appears.
Being thankful to people in our livesA spirit of thankfulness toward God should extend to being thankful for spouses, children, parents, and church elders.
Appreciating those who serve quietlyWe should express deep gratitude for the hundreds of people who serve God and the church without seeking honor or money.
Giving thanks in every situationFirst Thessalonians 5:18 commands us to give thanks in everything, because this is God's will for us.1 Thessalonians 5:18
Finding God's will through thanksgivingTrying to discern God's specific will without first learning to give thanks in everything is like trying to read a book before learning the alphabet.
Trusting God when we do not understandEven when we make mistakes or do not understand a situation, we can still give thanks because God can make things work for our good.
God causes all things to work together for goodRomans 8:28 promises that God actively works everything together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.Romans 8:28–29
Every part of the body has a purposeJust as small parts of the human body like nails are useful, every believer has a unique gift and function, such as being an encourager.
The greatest good is becoming like JesusThe ultimate good God works in us is not wealth or fame, but conforming us to the image of Jesus Christ as His younger brothers.
