Contents
This text teaches that God loves and treats people of thanksgiving the most. Who is thanking you?
First. He is a person who achieves God's purpose.
①The purpose of God’s redemption is that we may understand God’s grace and be always thankful. (Ephesians 1:3~6) ②God is infinite in wisdom, knowledge, power, wealth, authority, and glory. , he is perfect ③Therefore, he has nothing to receive from humans, nor does he receive anything to supplement it. ④ God does nothing to His chosen ones except for Zion work. ⑤ God does that judgment as a means of mercy. ⑥ This is to make people who realize grace and give thanks. ⑦ Therefore, a person of gratitude is a person who achieves God's purpose.
Second. He is a person whom God accepts.
① In the text, God the owner rebuked and rejected the workers who worked a lot from morning to evening and did a little work, but the grateful workers were accepted. ② God harvests the grain of salvation in the world and carries it to the barn in heaven, and the grain of salvation is the person of thanksgiving itself. ③ The world is a place where people of thanks are made, a place of harvest, and heaven is a place prepared for people of thanksgiving. ④ God only accepts good deeds that come from a grateful heart, and he does not accept any sacrifice, service, alms... ⑤ In the world and in heaven, God accepts and appoints only those who are thankful.
Third. A person who will continue to receive God's grace and develop.
①The first worker who worked a lot in the morning and complained about it, the master's grace was interrupted, and as it stopped, he fell behind. ②However, the grateful worker continued to receive the favor of his master, and came before those who came first. ③ God takes from those who complain, even what they have, and gives more and more to those who give thanks. ④ The secret to continuing to receive God's grace is to be thankful. ⑤ The workers who complained and complained could no longer do their master's work, so their development was stopped, and the workers of gratitude continued to work and took precedence over the first ones. ⑥ God makes those who give thanks at any time and anywhere take the lead. ⑦ The grieving worker did not know that the work of the vineyard, calling himself to work, was a great grace in itself, but rather, he knew that he had been gracious to his master. ⑧ Today, the saints...
Fourth, it is the person who moves God.
① "Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good and his mercy endures forever" (Psalm 136). When we give thanks, God's good hand, the hand of the Son of Man, moves. ②Gratitude is the power that moves God, and it is the power that draws out the answers of God's grace and blessings. ③ The heart of God and all charismatic institutions can be occupied with thanksgiving. ④ Therefore, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let it be made known to God..." (Philippians 4:6-7).
Fifth. A person who will save others.
① Gratitude belongs to God who is life, and complaint belongs to the devil of death. ② Therefore, God's work of salvation is done through the thanksgiving and comes to those who give thanks. ③Paul and Silas became people of gratitude and saved others in the midst of adversity. ④ When giving thanks, everything works together for good. ⑤ Gratitude is the ability to save everything. ⑥Also, they are welcomed by God, all humans, and all things, but grievances are rejected by everything.
