How to Thank God
How do we thank God every day for all He all He has done for us? How do we thank Him for giving His life for us, for coming to earth and living among people who sin, where there is sickness and death, where there is time, where there is sadness when in Heaven it is perfect and everything is good. He came and died for us, He took on our sins but never sinned, He was spit on, whipped, a crown of thorns was placed on His head, He went through terrible suffering on the cross, His Father (God) turned away from Him, all because of us and our sins. He became the ultimate sacrifice for us so we no longer have to offer sacrifices, so how can we as believers thank Him? As I was reading Psalm 119:1-8 today I found the answer, verse 7 says "As I learn your righteous regulations, I will thank you by living as I should." That pretty much sums it up, if we want to thank God every day for what He has done for us we need to live as He has commanded us to. How do we know how He wants us to live? By reading His Word, the Bible. One of His commands is that we "do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together..." that is talking about going to church and by going to church we will learn more about how God wants us to live, when we learn how God wants us to live and live that way we will be showing Him that we love Him and letting Him know that we are thankful for all He has done, for it tells us right in His Word...."....I will thank you by living as I should."
