  3. Thankful For God Psalm 100

  4. Thankful For God • My kids have been listing things that they are thankful for over the past week • They not only have to say what they are thankful for, but why they are thankful for those things • It can be easy for us to rattle off a list of our blessings

  5. Thankful For God • It might be more helpful and meaningful to us if we mention why we are thankful for the blessings we have • It helps in our appreciation and in our expression thereof • So what are you thankful for around this time of year?

  6. Thankful For God • I think one thing we all would mention would be how thankful we are for our God and our relationship with Him • Again, we ask the question, why? • I’m thankful for my God, and let me tell you exactly why both you and I should be thankful for Him…

  7. The Goodness of God • One of the characteristics we often take for granted is the goodness of God • What if God were an evil, hateful, spiteful, or mean God? • False gods of years gone by were never merciful, loving and kind as we know our God to be

  8. The Goodness of God • See the reaction of the prophets of Baal in I Kings 18:28 • The God of the Bible was nothing like that, and for that I’m thankful! • The psalmist spoke of the goodness of God over and over; no doubt because it was witnessed firsthand

  9. The Goodness of God • “Oh how great is Your goodness…” (Ps. 31:19) • “The goodness of God endures continually” (Ps. 52:1) • “For the Lord is good…” (Ps. 100:5) • “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!” (Ps. 107:1)

  10. The Goodness of God • “You are good, and do good…” (Ps. 119:68) • Paul spoke of the goodness of God in his letter to those in Rome (2:4-11; 11:22) • One of the fruits of the Spirit of God is goodness (Gal. 5:22)

  11. The Goodness of God • Every good and perfect gift comes from a God of goodness (Js. 1:17; Matt. 7:11; Lk. 11:13) • “…God is light and in Him is no darkness at all” (I Jn. 1:5) • God cannot lie and cannot be tempted by evil (Titus 1:2; Js. 1:13)

  12. The Goodness of God • The goodness of God is seen in His other attributes • He is holy (moral excellence), loving, gracious, merciful, longsuffering, etc. • I am thankful that I serve a God who is good, that I can trust to keep His word and not change who He is

  13. The Love of God • I am thankful for the love that God has shown towards me • “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (Jn. 3:16) • I am included in “the world”

  14. The Love of God • God’s love means that I do not have to suffer the fate that I deserve (Rom. 6:23) • God’s love was manifested to us through His Son Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:8; I Jn. 4:9) • God’s goodness and love worked together (Titus 3:4)

  15. The Love of God • Could you imagine trying to serve a God that did not love you? • Would we even be here if God didn’t love us • God’s love brings about things such as His grace, mercy, kindness, longsuffering, etc.

  16. The Grace of God • I am also thankful for the grace that God has offered to mankind • Grace has been called “God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense” • It is properly defined as unmerited favor • We do not deserve God’s favor; yet He offered it anyways

  17. The Grace of God • Noah found grace in the eyes of God (Gen. 6:8) • Although we are all sinners, we are justified freely by His grace (Rom. 3:23-24) • The forgiveness of our sins is according to the riches of His grace (Eph. 1:7)

  18. The Grace of God • I’m thankful for the grace of God because I too am a sinner • His grace is not just for you and I, but for all men (Titus 2:11-14 & 3:7) • God’s grace has brought us from where we were to where we are now (Eph. 2:1-10)

  19. The Longsuffering of God • I am thankful for the longsuffering of God as well • God is a good God who loves us and has been gracious to us • However, He also continues His goodness through His longsuffering, in giving mankind a chance to repent

  20. The Longsuffering of God • God’s longsuffering has always been there (I Pet. 3:20) • Paul paired up the longsuffering of God with His goodness (Rom. 2:4) • Peter reminds us of the fact that God is longsuffering towards us, which is why He has not yet returned (II Pet. 3:9)

  21. The Longsuffering of God • God is longsuffering because He is “not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” • I’m thankful that God has given me an ample opportunity to respond to His goodness, love, and grace • Have you taken advantage of the opportunity?
