Gratitude. Natural expression of thanks in response to blessings, protection, or love. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, gratitude is not a tool used to manipulate the will of God. It is never coerced or fabricated in one’s mind; rather, gratitude is a joyful commitment of one’s personality to God.
Elwell, W. A., & Beitzel, B. J. (1988). Gratitude. In Baker encyclopedia of the Bible (Vol. 1, p. 900). Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House.
20 For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse.
21 For though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became nonsense, and their senseless minds were darkened.
Romans
6 Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
A psalm of thanksgiving.
1 Shout triumphantly to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.
3 Acknowledge that Yahweh is God. He made us, and we are His — His people, the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name.
5 For Yahweh is good, and His love is eternal; His faithfulness endures through all generations.
Ephesians 1:
7 We have redemption in Him through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
16 “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
Luke 22:39-
39 He went out and made His way as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.
40 When He reached the place, He told them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
41 Then He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and began to pray,
42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup away from Me—nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.”
43 [Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.
44 Being in anguish, He prayed more fervently, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.]
45 When He got up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping, exhausted from their grief.
46 “Why are you sleeping?” He asked them. “Get up and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation.”
Luke 22:63-
63 The men who were holding Jesus started mocking and beating Him.
64 After blindfolding Him, they kept asking, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”
65 And they were saying many other blasphemous things against Him.
66 When daylight came, the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the scribes, convened and brought Him before their Sanhedrin.
67 They said, “If You are the Messiah, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I do tell you, you will not believe.
68 And if I ask you, you will not answer.
69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the Power of God.”
70 They all asked, “Are You, then, the Son of God?” And He said to them, “You say that I am.”
71 “Why do we need any more testimony,” they said, “since we’ve heard it ourselves from His mouth?”
27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into headquarters and gathered the whole company around Him.
28 They stripped Him and dressed Him in a scarlet military robe.
29 They twisted together a crown of thorns, put it on His head, and placed a reed in His right hand. And they knelt down before Him and mocked Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”
30 Then they spit on Him, took the reed, and kept hitting Him on the head.
31 When they had mocked Him, they stripped Him of the robe, put His clothes on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
32 As they were going out, they found a Cyrenian man named Simon. They forced this man to carry His cross.
33 When they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Skull Place),
34 they gave Him wine mixed with gall to drink. But when He tasted it, He would not drink it.
35 After crucifying Him they divided His clothes by casting lots.
36 Then they sat down and were guarding Him there.
37 Above His head they put up the charge against Him in writing: THIS IS JESUS
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then two criminals were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left.
39 Those who passed by were yelling insults at Him, shaking their heads
40 and saying, “The One who would demolish the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
41 In the same way the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked Him and said,
42 “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.
43 He has put His trust in God; let God rescue Him now—if He wants Him! For He said, ‘I am God’s Son.’ ”
44 In the same way even the criminals who were crucified with Him kept taunting Him.
45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over the whole land.
46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Elí, Elí, lemá sabachtháni?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling for Elijah!”
48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, fixed it on a reed, and offered Him a drink.
49 But the rest said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to save Him!”
50 Jesus shouted again with a loud voice and gave up His spirit.
51 Suddenly, the curtain of the sanctuary was split in two from top to bottom; the earth quaked and the rocks were split.
52 The tombs were also opened and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
53 And they came out of the tombs after His resurrection, entered the holy city, and appeared to many.
54 When the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were terrified and said, “This man really was God’s Son!”
55 Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and ministered to Him were there, looking on from a distance.
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
57 When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.
58 He approached Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate ordered that it be released.
59 So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in clean, fine linen,
60 and placed it in his new tomb, which he had cut into the rock. He left after rolling a great stone against the entrance of the tomb.
61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were seated there, facing the tomb.
Matthew 27:27-
58 Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
