As Christians are we told to be thankful...yes or no...


Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour (saving influence) of his knowledge by us in every place…I exhort (encourage)  therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men… And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him...In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you....2 Corinthians 2:14...1 Timothy 2:1...Colossians 3:17...1 Thessalonians 5:18

 

What does a man have he did not receive…did you choose your birth? Did you choose your parents? We did not determine when we were born…either our parents modest poor or rich…we did not choose our raising…but we did choose Jesus when we were baptized, Who is the greatest dad a person can have. Do you want to be adopted into the family of God and have Jesus as the Good Shepherd overseeing your soul…yes or no? Then you must believe Jesus died and was raised from the dead and then be baptized for the remission of your sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Will you be baptized into Christ…yes or no? Jesus said after His resurrection… He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned...Mark 16:16.

 

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep...John 10:7-11. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God...John 1:12-13. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God...Romans 8:15-16.

 

Prayer

Father thank you for adopting me and all those who have been baptized into Christ…thank you for all the things you have given us known and unknown and please forgive us and meet our soul’s deepest needs for gratitude…for being adopted into your family…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
