Gratitude

Jesus did not come just to improve us. He came to save our souls. God sent His only Son so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Praising God is all about gratitude for His gift of eternal life. But it is much more than that. It is acknowledging that without God’s offering, we are lost, and remain unforgiven. Thanks be to God for the Lord Jesus Christ His Son, the Giver of life!

We all have many reasons to thank God; however, His greatest gift was eternal life through the sacrifice of His Son. Without His sacrifice, we could never approach the throne of God because we are all stained with sin. Only the blood resulting from the sacrifice of the Lamb of God can cleanse us and make us worthy to draw near to God. 

It is therefore necessary to claim that precious blood to be able to reach God with our thanksgiving offerings. Praise and worship are dependent upon a sacrifice, one from the Son of God. We could not even present our praise to God without His Son surrendering His life. If it was necessary for Him to surrender His life to please His God and Father, how could we think we do not need to surrender ours? We must also surrender our lives to the Savior, to be able to please God. 

Have you made a conscious decision to surrender your life to the Lord Jesus Christ? If you have not done so, you need to understand that to take His life and receive the benefit of eternal life, you must surrender your life to Him, just like He surrendered His life for your sake. 

He laid down His life for us; we must lay our own lives for Him. Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Matthew‬ ‭16:24‬ ‭ESV‬‬). ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

Have you acknowledged Jesus as your only Lord and savior? It is not only a matter of believing in Him but also a matter of your life and your death! Consider coming to Him in repentance and in faith, so that you may surrender the rest of your life to Him who gave His life for you.
