Within the heart of every person, there are spiritual needs. With those needs is the reason to thank God. Why do so many people who claim to believe in God and do not thank Him? People allow what God has given them to keep them too long from thanking God. After God fulfills the needs of some; life, friends, and family distracts them from thanking God. Some think that they deserve God’s blessings so they have no thanks. Many believe that obeying God is enough and easily forget thanksgiving. The New Testament Scriptures contain some strong exhortations for thanking God. In truth, thanking God does more for the person than ever for God. Prayer with thanksgiving comes with God’s promise of peace that passes understanding. Thanking God is essential to maintaining a strong and active faith. The Bible warns of those who do not thank and glorify God. This lesson will challenge the listener to behave in a responsible and holy way, and thus give gratitude to the heavenly Father.

All spiritual blessings are in Christ. God's blessings are “in Christ.” Throughout the New Testament, the apostolic writers remind everyone of the identity of Jesus Christ. He is God come in the flesh. From the foundation of the world, God chose those who are in Christ. Forgiveness of sins and redemption are in Christ. The Christian’s eternal inheritance is in Christ. This lesson presents a number of passages teaching these truths. However, only three passages speak of how to get into Christ. All three scriptures declare the same thing. For most believers, the answer may not be what they think.

What is so important about learning to read? What is the most important that someone can read? Our elders have encouraged us to read the New Testament in 40 days. This lesson is an exhortation to spend time in God’s Word. His Word is a gift to humanity. James’s epistle reveals that every good and perfect gift is from God. God brings forth believers into new life by the Word of Truth. However, that Word must implant within one’s heart and soul for the Word to save the believer. The reader must approach the Bible with meekness and honestly consider its teachings. God intended for His Word to dwell within Christians. He commanded this. Becoming doers of God’s Word demonstrates that God’s Word in implanted. There is only one book that living and active. Therefore, you are responsible to read the Bible.
