For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 4:15
Grace: "the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues"
Thanksgiving: gratitude; actively, grateful language (to God, as an act of worship)
Abound: to make abundant or excellent, to cause one to excel
Glory: good opinion concerning one, and as resulting from that, praise, honor
Actively grateful language to God! Thanksgiving isn't just a simple word, it's to become an ACTION! And what produces the true action of thanksgiving? Realizing the grace of God and sharing His grace to others. The more God's grace is made known and the more people accept God's grace then the ultimate reaction is thanksgiving and worship to God giving God the honor and glory!
Actively grateful! Thanks Living is not something that is hidden or just saying "thanks" now and then. It's to be an ongoing ACTION of worship and praise to God!
