What shall we be thankful for? (Psalm 100:1-5)
One hope of believers who live by faith is to live according to the will of God.
I don't know what to do when I first start living in faith, but as my faith grows, I can think about what to do.
It is to have thoughts about whether you can live according to my will,
It is a great blessing for man to live according to the will of God,
Why should a believer who has the hope of entering the kingdom of heaven live according to God's will?
Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but according to the will of my Father who is in heaven.
He who does it will enter.”
It is so important to the saints to live according to the will of God, not to live according to the world.
Therefore, when listening to the Word, singing songs, praying, listening to the Word and meditating, God has

And if you live according to that will, you become the master of heaven

1 Thessalonians 5:18 “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you”
The Bible says that it is God's will for me to give thanks in everything,
When I pray and the things I want come true, I don't thank them for them, but I say thank them for everything.

To give thanks for joy, for sorrow, for complaining, is to give thanks for everything,
It is to be thankful even in situations where we cannot be thankful in our common sense

You do not have to do your duty as a citizen of Korea.
Our saints are no different from the people of this world,

What could be more grateful than this?
1) He made us,
I am a child of God because God made me,
The first man, Adam, was molded from dust and breathed into his nostrils to become human, but now we are
By the grace of the blood shed on the cross, we were blessed to become a child of God, and through the work of the Holy Spirit, God became our Father.
I have confessed,
You were born again by the Holy Spirit and made God's people, this is the grace God has bestowed on me,
2) He nourishes us,
God did not leave the people of God born again as orphans in the world, but raised us.
As a hen guards her chicks under her wings, so with God's hand, with power, with His arm, protect us and keep us.
He was raised and raised, and he is still raised today.
Just as if you do not know the blessings of your parents who gave birth to you and raised you, you become a disobedient child.

Where is the door to heaven?
It is Jesus Christ,
John 10:9 “I am the door; if anyone enters through me, he will be saved; and he will go in and out and find pasture.”

There is no thanksgiving outside of Jesus,
2) Let's sing praises and give thanks
Only the saints who have become God's people can praise God.
The glory of God appears in the hymns, and we experience the presence of God in the hymns.
Isaiah 43:21 “This people I formed for myself, that they may praise me.”
Ephesians 1:6 “to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gives us in those whom he loves.”
The songs of the world are made for me
But hymns are made for the glory of God,
3) Let's give thanks by exalting that name

If I receive the glory that should be given to God, it is destruction, and if I give that glory to God, it is a blessing.
Do not take the glory of God as mine, but in all of my life, wisdom, understanding, wealth, glory, and even beauty.
