So Much to be Thankful For
Happy Thanksgiving beloved of God!
Psalm 103: 1,2
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
The Psalm itself is fantastic, but there is even more we have to be thankful for.
Since we confessed the Lord Jesus with our mouths and we believed in our hearts that God raised him from the dead, we shall be saved.
Now we are the sons of God! We are partakers of the divine nature. The life of God now is born in us.
Jesus Christ has accomplished our redemption and salvation, and we are now saved by the grace of God. We are born again of the spirit from God; born of incorruptible seed.
We have entered the kingdom of God by being born again of the spirit from Him.
God is now our Father, and we are His children, His heirs, and joint heirs with Christ. We are members of the household of God.
In Christ, and by his accomplishments we are justified, we have the remission of sins that are past, and we will be glorified with him. We have been washed and sanctified. We have been reconciled to God!
In Christ we are now the righteousness of God. We are holy and without blemish before Him and unimpeachable in His sight.
God’s love has been poured out in our hearts by the holy spirit which was given unto us. We are sealed with the holy spirit as the earnest of our inheritance.
In Christ, we have access to the Father by the spirit we received in the new birth.
We are told to speak with Him freely having access with confidence through the right way of believing that is in Christ Jesus.
Beloved, we are God’s sanctuary, His dwelling place by the spirit.
Are you thankful yet?
As the children of God, we have been saved from the wrath to come!
When the Lord Jesus Christ returns to gather us together, we will physically enter the kingdom of God's beloved Son.
When the Lord Jesus Christ returns to gather us up to meet him in the air the dead in Christ will rise first and then those who are yet alive shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
Comfort one another with these words, beloved.
We will be gathered together having bodies like the Lord’s glorious body that dies no more. We will take acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In the coming ages, God will display the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness to us in Christ Jesus. What will our Father's attitude toward us be like? Kindness: the kindness that a loving Father has for His dearly beloved children.
The Father freely gives us all things with His beloved Son. He has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm. We have more than I could ever write about in a post.
Nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We have the proof of God’s written Word concerning all of these things, and we have the manifestation of the spirit as proof, also. Everything I have mentioned is certain.
We have so much to be thankful for, don’t we beloved of God? Have a wonderful holiday!
