Thank God for His Eternal Purposes and Counsels Concerning Man’s Redemption

Thanksgiving 4.11 | KJV

For the eternal purposes and counsels of God concerning man’s redemption.

I am bound to give thanks always to thee, O God, because thou hast from the beginning chosen some to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit: 2 Thessalonians 2:13 (KJV) That there is a remnant according to the election of grace, Romans 11:5(KJV) whom God hath chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, that they should be holy and without blame before thee in love, having predestinated them to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ unto thyself, according to the good pleasure of thy will, to the praise of the glory of thy grace. Ephesians 1:4-6(KJV)

Thine they were, and thou gavest them to Christ; John 17:6(KJV) and this is thy will, that of all that thou hast given him, he should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. John 6:39(KJV)

Thank God for His Grace to your Soul and for Design

Thanksgiving 4.10 | KJV

The goodness of his grace relating to my soul and the life that is to come.

But especially blessed be the God and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things in Christ. Ephesians 1:3(KJV)

1st, I must give God thanks for his kindnesses to the children of men, relating to their better part and their future state and his favours to the church in general.

I must give thanks for his gracious design and contrivance of man’s redemption and salvation, when he was lost and undone by sin.

O how wonderfully did the kindness and love of God my Saviour towards man appear, not by any works of righteousness which I have done, but according to his mercy he saved me: Titus 3:4-5(KJV) I had destroyed myself, but in thee, and thee only, was my help. Hosea 13:9 (KJV)

When I was cast out in the open field, and no eye pitied me, thou sawest me polluted in my own blood, and thou saidest unto me, Live; yea, thou saidest unto me, Live; Ezekiel 16:5-6(KJV) and the time was a time of love. Ezekiel 16:8(KJV)

When the redemption of the soul was so precious, as that it must have ceased for ever, and no man could by any means redeem his brother or give to God a ransom for him, Psalm 49:7-8(KJV) then thou wast pleased to find a ransom, that I might be delivered from going down to the pit. Job 33:24(KJV)

When I must needs die, and was as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again, then didst thou devise means that the banished might not be for ever expelled from thee. 2 Samuel 14:14(KJV)

When thou sparedst not the angels that sinned, but didst cast them down to hell; 2 Peter 2:4(KJV) thou saidst concerning the rage of mankind, Destroy it not for a blessing is in it. Isaiah 65:8(KJV) appears the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world for his people’s glory. 1 Corinthians 2:7(KJV)

Thank God for the Measure of Peace you Experience

Thanksgiving 4.9 | KJV

For our own share in the public plenty, peace, and tranquility.

When I have eaten and am full, I have reason to bless thee for the good land which thou hast given me, Deuteronomy 8:10(KJV) a land which the eyes of the Lord my God are always upon, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year. Deuteronomy 11:12(KJV)

Thou makest peace in my borders and fillest me with the finest of the wheat: Psalm 147:14(KJV) I am delivered from the noise of the archers at the place of drawing water; there, therefore, will I rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, even his righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages. Judges 5:11(KJV)

I thank thee that the powers that are set over me are ministers of God to me for good; Romans 13:4(KJV) that they seek the welfare of your people, speaking peace to all their seed. Esther 10:3(KJV)
