Thank God for the Many Glorious Instances of His Favor to the Old Testament Church

Thanksgiving 4.14 | KJV

For the many glorious instances of God’s favour to the Old Testament church.

I adore that wisdom, peace, and goodness with which thou broughtest the vine out of Egypt, didst cast out the heathen and plant it; thou preparedst room before it and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. Psalm 80:8-9(KJV)

And they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand and thine arm and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour to them. Psalm 44:3(KJV)

I bless thee that to the Jews were committed the oracles of God; Romans 3:2(KJV) that they had the adoption and the glory and the covenant, the giving of the law and the service of God and the promises: Romans 9:4(KJV) And that there did not fail one word of all thy good promise, which thou promisedst by the hand of Moses thy servant. 1 Kings 8:56(KJV)

I bless thee for all that which thou didst, at sundry times and in divers manners, speak in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hebrews 1:1(KJV) those holy men of God who spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, 2 Peter 1:21(KJV) and prophesied of the grace that should come unto the people of God, testifying beforehand the suffering of Christ and the glory that should follow; and that, not to themselves only, but to all believers, they ministered those great things, things which the angels themselves desire to look into. 1 Peter 1:10-12(KJV)

And especially, I bless thee that thou hast provided some better things for believers alive today, that they without us should not be made perfect. Hebrews 11:40(KJV)

Thank God for the Early Indication of His Gracious Design

Thanksgiving 4.13 | KJV

For the early and ancient indication of the gracious design concerning fallen man.

I bless thee that as soon as ever man had sinned, it was graciously promised that the seed of the woman should break the serpent’s head; Genesis 3:15(KJV) and that in the Old Testament sacrifices, Jesus Christ was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:8(KJV)

And that by faith the elders, though they received not the promise Hebrews 11:39(KJV) yet obtained a good report; Hebrews 11:2(KJV) for they obtained witness that they were righteous. Hebrews 11:4(KJV)

I bless thee for the promise made to Abraham, that in his seed all the families of the earth should be blessed; Genesis 12:3(KJV) and to Jacob, that the Shiloh should come, and to him should the gathering of the people be; Genesis 49:10(KJV) and that the Patriarchs rejoiced to see Christ’s day, and they saw it and were glad. John 8:56(KJV)

Thank God for the Appointing of the Redeemer and His Gracious Condescension

Thanksgiving 4.12 | KJV

For the appointing of the Redeemer and God’s gracious condescension to deal with men upon new terms, receding from the demands of the broken covenant of innocency.

I bless thee that when sacrifice and offering thou wouldst not, and in them hadst no pleasure, that then the eternal Son of God said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God, and a body hast thou prepared me: Hebrews 10:5-7(KJV) And that, as in the volume of the book it was written of him, he did delight to do thy will, O God; yea, thy law was within his heart. Psalm 40:7-8(KJV)

Thou hast laid help upon one that is mighty, one chosen out of the people: Thou hast found David thy servant, with the holy oil thou hast anointed him, Psalm 89:19-20(KJV) even with the oil of gladness above his fellows, Psalm 45:7(KJV) and didst promise that with him thy hand should be established and thy arm should strengthen him, Psalm 89:21(KJV) and that thou wouldest make him thy first-born, higher than the kings of the earth. Psalm 89:27(KJV)

I bless thee that the Father now judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son; John 5:22(KJV) that as he has life in himself, so he hath given to the Son to have life in himself, and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of Man; John 5:26-27(KJV) that the Father loved the Son and hath given all things into his hand; 1 John 3:35(KJV) and that the counsel of peace is between them both. Zechariah 6:13(KJV)

That he is thy servant, whom thou dost uphold, thine elect in whom thy soul delighteth; Isaiah 42:1(KJV) thy beloved Son in whom thou art well-pleased; Matthew 17:5(KJV) that thou hast given him for a covenant of the people; Isaiah 49:8(KJV) and that through him I am not under the law but under grace. Romans 6:14(KJV)

That God so loved the world, as to give his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16(KJV)
