Why Do Christians Give Thanks?

why do Christians give thanks to the Lord Our God? It's because we feel the need to reciprocate on our part as Christians many think that we consider ourselves as being better but all we're trying to do is follow God's commands to the letter so what is it about Christians? are we that different than most? what is it about Christians? do you think it's the Holy Ghost? so why do Christians give thanks and what do they hope to gain? we give thanks to Jesus the Christ so His death won't be in vain not everyone who's in the church is there for the right reasons some so-called Christians only attend church during the summer season but a true Christian soldier, a true disciple of Christ attends church to praise, to worship and give honor for His life we give thanks in gratitude for His death on the cross It was the supreme sacrifice so our souls would not be lost yet some people attend church with their own agendas and it's not about sacrifice nor is it about surrender for Godly gratitude isn't about the superficial things in life It's about giving thanks for His blood sacrifice I thank God for Jesus who died for my sins I thank God for Jesus, my Savior, my Brother, my Friend He was the greatest gift given to me as a guarantee for my salvation the most perfect present I've ever received and I show my appreciation I thank Him for His love which is not dependent on my worth I thank Him for His grace which is sufficient here on earth so why do Christians give thanks to the one called Jesus the Christ? I know I give Him thanks for being the Redeemer of my life unblemished, pure, holy, just and upright the Prince of Peace, the Salt of the Earth, the Son, the Sacrifice His blood that was shedded on Mount Calvary paid the price for any sin that was inside of me now cleansed of all unrighteousness, I've been washed from inside out and that's why Christians give thanks without question, without doubt
