Thank God for the Hope of Eternal Life and for the Work of the Spirit within you

Thanksgiving 4.34 | KJV

For the prospect and hope of eternal life, when time shall be no more.

I thank thee for the crown of life which the Lord hath promised to them that love him; James 1:12(KJV) the inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for me. 1 Peter 1:4(KJV)

That having here no continuing city, Hebrews 13:14(KJV) I am encouraged to seek the better country, that is, the heavenly; Hebrews 11:16(KJV) the city that hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Hebrews 11:10(KJV)

That I am in hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, hath promised; Titus 1:2(KJV) and that all true believers, through grace, Acts 18:27(KJV) have eternal life abiding in them. 1 John 3:15(KJV)

2dly, I must give God thanks for the spiritual mercies bestowed upon me in particular, especially if I am called with an effectual call and have a good work of grace begun in me.

I must bless God for the striving of his Spirit with me, and the admonitions and checks of my own conscience.

I bless thee that thou hast not given me over to a reprobate mind; Romans 1:28(KJV) that my conscience is not seared; 1 Timothy 4:2(KJV) that thou hast not said concerning me, He is joined to an idol, let him alone; Hosea 4:17(KJV) but that thy Spirit is yet striving with me. Genesis 6:3(KJV)

I thank thee for the work of the law written in my heart, my own conscience also bearing witness, and my own thoughts between themselves accusing or excusing one another. Romans 2:15(KJV)

Thank God for the Communion of Saints

Thanksgiving 4.33 | KJV

For the communion of saints, that spiritual communion which I have in faith and hope and holy love, and in prayers and praises with all good Christians.

I bless thee that if your people walk in the light, they have fellowship one with another, 1 John 1:7(KJV) even with all that in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ the Lord, both theirs and mine. 1 Corinthians 1:2(KJV)

That your people, being many, are one bread and one body; 1 Corinthians 10:17(KJV) and that though there are diversities of gifts and administrations and operations, yet there is the same Spirit, the same Lord, and the same God, which worketh in all. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6(KJV)

I thank thee that all the children of God which were scattered abroad, John 11:52(KJV) are united in him who is the head of the body, the church; Colossians 1:18(KJV) so they are all my brethren and companions in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ. Revelation 1:9(KJV)

Thank God for the Martyrs and Confessors who have Gone Before you

Thanksgiving 4.32 | KJV

For the martyrs and confessors, the lights of the church, and the good examples of those that are gone before me to heaven.

I bless thee for all those who have been enabled to approve themselves to God in much patience, in afflictions, in distresses; 2 Corinthians 6:4(KJV) who when they have been brought before governors and kings for Christ’s sake, it has turned to them for a testimony, Luke 21:12-13(KJV) and God has given them a mouth and wisdom, which all their adversaries were not able to gainsay or resist. Luke 21:15(KJV)

That those who for Christ’s sake were killed all the day long and accounted as sheep for the slaughter, were yet, in all these things, more than conquerors, through him that loved them. Romans 8:36-37(KJV)

That they overcame the accuser of the brethren by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and by not loving their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:10-11(KJV)

I bless thee for the cloud of witnesses with which I am encompassed about, Hebrews 12:1(KJV) for the footsteps of the flock, Song of Solomon 1:8(KJV) for the elders that have obtained a good report, Hebrews 11:2(KJV) and are now, through faith and patience, inheriting the promises. Hebrews 6:12(KJV) Lord, give me to follow them, as they followed Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1(KJV)
