Thank God for the Covenant of Grace

Thanksgiving 4.27 | NASB

For the covenant of grace made with me in Jesus Christ and all the exceedingly great and precious privileges of that covenant, and for the seals of it.

I thank You that in Jesus Christ You have made an everlasting covenant with me, according to the faithful mercies shown to David; Isaiah 55:3(NASB) and that though the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, yet this, Your covenant of peace, will not be shaken. Isaiah 54:10(NASB)

That You have granted to me precious and magnificent promises, so that by them I might become a partaker of the divine nature; 2 Peter 1:4(NASB) and that Jesus Christ is the Mediator of this better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. Hebrews 8:6(NASB)

That though You chasten my transgression with the rod and my iniquity with stripes, yet You will not break off Your lovingkindness from me, nor deal falsely in Your faithfulness. Your covenant You will not violate, nor will You alter the utterance of Your lips. Psalm 89:32-34(NASB)

That desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of Your purpose, You have interposed with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, I who have taken refuge might have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before me. Hebrews 6:17-18(NASB)

That baptism is appointed to be a seal of the righteousness which is by faith, as circumcision was; Romans 4:11(NASB) that it assures me of the forgiveness of my sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit; and that this promise is for God’s people and their children. Acts 2:38-39(NASB) And that the cup in the Lord’s Supper is the blood of the covenant, which was poured out for many for forgiveness of sins. Matthew 26:28(NASB)

Thank God for the Sending of the Holy Spirit

Thanksgiving 4.26 | NASB

For the sending of the Holy Spirit to supply the want of Christ’s bodily presence, to carry on His undertaking, and to prepare things for His second coming.

I bless You that when the Lord Jesus went away, He sent His people another Helper to be with them forever, even the Spirit of truth, John 14:16-17(NASB) who shall glorify the Son, for He will take of His and will disclose it to them. John 16:14(NASB)

That having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, Acts 2:33(NASB) He poured it forth as rivers of living water. John 7:38(NASB)

Blessed be God for the signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit, with which He confirmed the great salvation. Hebrews 2:3-4(NASB)

And blessed be God for the promise that as earthly parents, though evil, know how to give good gifts to their children, so my heavenly Father will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him, Luke 11:13(NASB) that Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of my inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession. Ephesians 1:13-14(NASB)

Thank God for the Assurance you have of Christ’s Second Coming

Thanksgiving 4.25 | NASB

For the assurance we have of His second coming to judge the world.

I bless You that You have fixed a day in which You will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom You have appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead. Acts 17:31(NASB)

That in that day the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of the Lord Jesus: 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8(NASB) And He will come to be glorified in His saints and to be marveled at among all who have believed; 2 Thessalonians 1:10(NASB) for God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 4:14(NASB)

That He will then send forth His angels to gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, Matthew 13:41(NASB) and to gather together His elect from the four winds; Matthew 24:31(NASB) and then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Matthew 13:43(NASB)

And I then, according to Your promise, am looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells: Lord, grant that, since I look for these things, I may be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless; 2 Peter 3:13-14(NASB) and then Come Lord Jesus, Come quickly! Revelation 22:20(NASB)
