G R A T E F U L

Being GRATEFUL is often expressed through prayer, praise, and acts of service that reflect a recognition of God's blessings. It reminds us to ALWAYS appreciate even the smallest things and to recognize that everything ultimately comes from God.
Gratitude is a positive response to experiencing God's goodness and grace. 
In other words, once we realize that God is working in our lives, we shall ALWAYS be GRATEFUL to God and live accordingly.
(G) 2 Corinthians 3:18 "So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the Glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His Glorious image.”
 (R) Ephesians 1:7 "In Him we have Redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace." This verse emphasizes that through Faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross, believers receive Redemption, which includes the forgiveness of sins, all made possible by God's abundant grace. 
   (A) 2 Corinthians 5:20 "We are therefore Christ's Ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. Be reconciled to God." This verse highlights the role of believers as representatives of Christ, urging us to be reconciled to God.
    (T) Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart,? And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” 
This verse encourages us to completely reliance on God and His guidance, rather than relying solely on our own limited perspective and reasoning.
     (E) Hebrews 9:15 explains that Jesus is the mediator of a new covenant, which allows those called to receive the promised Eternal Inheritance. This is made possible by His death and resurrection, which atones for the transgressions that was committed under the previous covenant. Now through Christ Jesus we who believe have Eternal Inheritance.  
      (F) Galatians 2:16 “…know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by FAITH (meaning Favor As I Trust Him) in Jesus Christ. 
So we too have put our Faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by Faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. This verse teaches that salvation is a gift received through Faith, not something that can be earned through human effort or religious performance.
God has no respecter of person, but He does have respecter of Faith.
       (U) Romans 6:14-15, 18 “For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but Under Grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but Under Grace? By no means!
You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.” 
These verses highlight the transformative power of grace in the life of a believer, freeing us from sin's dominion while simultaneously emphasizing the responsibility for us to live a life pleasing to God through Christ Jesus.
        (L) John 3:16-17 "For God so Loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have Eternal Life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.”
The purpose was not to condemn the world but to offer Salvation through Christ Jesus. It further explains that while the world is already condemned by sin, Jesus came to provide a way out through Faith and Acceptance of His sacrifice on the cross. Do you believe this?
