Thankful (part 2): Goodbook 11-19-19

Here are a few more reasons from the Bible to be thankful...

3. If you’re a Christian be thankful that your sins even your deepest darkest sins are forgiven. Your chains are broken you are free!

Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

1 John 1:7 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

Colossians 1:20-23 and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault. But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.

4. Be thankful for the Bible.

Psalm 119:47 for I delight in your commands because I love them.

Psalm 119:97-98 Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. Your commands are always with me and make me wiser than my enemies.

Psalm 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.

1 Peter 1:23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

5. Be thankful for community.

Colossians 3:16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Galatians 6:2 Help carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will obey the law of Christ.
