“Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” 2 Corinthians 9:15

Every year in November, Thanksgiving is celebrated. It is a day of thanksgiving, but what does gratitude mean? Gratitude is the recognition that something was given to us, be it a favor or a gift for which we have not paid. It is expressing gratitude towards the person who did us the favor of paying a debt that we were not in a position to cover.

Humanity has been given a gift without deserving it. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 9:15, “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” That gift that God gave us is eternal life through his Son Jesus Christ. Salvation is a free gift that, like any other gift, is not yours until you accept it.

Thank God that through His Son we have hope, because without Him we would all be lost in this world. God has given us the greatest gift of all and that is giving us His Son Jesus who died on the cross to save us and rose again and is alive so that we can know Him and have a personal relationship with Him and spend eternity with Him. In other words, thank God for Jesus!

What happens when we are thankful? God is glorified, we are blessed, our church is strengthened, the lost are saved! 

Because a heart full of gratitude lifts our spirit, honors and exalts our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

God bless you!
