Thank God for the Cross of Christ and All Its Benefits

Thanksgiving 4.19 | KJV

For the full satisfaction which Christ made to the justice of God for the sin of man by the blood of his cross, for the purchases, victories, and triumphs of the cross, and for all the precious benefits which flow to me from the dying of the Lord Jesus.

Herein indeed God commendeth his love to me, in that while I was yet a sinner, Christ died for me, Romans 5:8(KJV) that I might be reconciled to him by the death of his Son. Romans 5:10(KJV) Herein is love, not that I loved God, but that he loved me, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for my sins, 1 John 4:10(KJV) and not for mine only but for the sins of the whole world; 1 John 2:2(KJV) that he tasted death for every man, Hebrews 2:9(KJV) that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Hebrews 2:14(KJV)

I bless thee that by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified; Hebrews 10:14(KJV) that he hath finished transgression, made an end of sin, made reconciliation for iniquity, and hath brought in an everlasting righteousness. Daniel 9:24(KJV)

That he hath redeemed me from the curse of the law by being made a curse for me. Galatians 3:13(KJV)

That what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God hath done by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, who by a sacrifice for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. Romans 8:3(KJV)

That he was wounded for my transgressions and bruised for my iniquities, and that the chastisement of my peace was upon him, and by his stripes I am healed: And that the Lord having laid upon him the iniquity of all his people, Isaiah 53:5-6(KJV) it pleased the Lord to bruise him and put him to grief. Isaiah 53:10(KJV)

Thank God for the Great Encouragement Christ Gave to Poor Sinners to Come to Him

Thanksgiving 4.18 | KJV

For the great encouragement Christ gave to poor sinners to come to him.

I bless thee that Jesus Christ came to call not the righteous, but sinners (such as myself) to repentance, Matthew 9:13(KJV) and had power on earth to forgive sin; Matthew 9:6(KJV) that he came to save his people from their sins, Matthew 1:21(KJV) and is the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world; John 1:29(KJV) and that he is (to his honour, not to his reproach) a friend to publicans and sinners. Matthew 11:19(KJV)

I thank thee for the gracious invitation he gave to those who are weary and heavy laden to come to him for rest: Matthew 11:28(KJV) And for the assurance he hath given that whosoever comes unto him, he will in nowise cast him out. John 6:37(KJV)

That he made a gracious offer, that whosoever thirst might come unto him and drink. John 7:37(KJV)

Thank God for Christ’s Holy Life, Excellent Doctrine, and Glorious Miracles

Thanksgiving 4.17 | KJV

For his holy life, his excellent doctrine, and the glorious miracles he wrought to confirm his doctrine.

I bless thee for the assurance I have that he is a teacher come from God, since no man could do those miracles which he did, except God were with him. John 3:2(KJV)

That thou hast in these last days spoken by thy Son, Hebrews 1:2(KJV) whose doctrine was not his, but his that sent him; John 7:16(KJV) and he spoke as one having authority; Matthew 7:29(KJV) and that I am encouraged to come and learn of him, because he is meek and lowly in heart, and in learning of him I shall find rest to my soul. Matthew 11:29(KJV)

I bless thee that he hath left me an example, that I should follow his steps, in that he did not sin, neither was guile found in his mouth; and when he was reviled, he reviled not again; 1 Peter 2:21-23(KJV) and his meat and drink was to do the will of his Father, John 4:34(KJV) in that he was holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners. Hebrews 7:26(KJV) O that I may be armed with the same mind, 1 Peter 4:1(KJV) and that as he was, so I may be in this world; 1 John 4:17(KJV) and that I may so walk even as he walked. 1 John 2:6(KJV)

I bless thee that the works which he did, the same bore witness of him, that the Father had sent him, John 5:36(KJV) that by his power the blind received their sight, the lame walked, the lepers were cleansed, the deaf heard, the dead were raised up, and the poor had the gospel preached to them, Matthew 11:5(KJV) and even the winds and the sea obeyed him, Matthew 8:27(KJV) for which I glorify the God of Israel. Matthew 15:31(KJV) Doubtless this was the Son of God. Matthew 27:54(KJV)
