BECAUSE GOD IS IN CONTROL - THAT'S WHY!

GOD PROVED HIS LOVE FOR SINNERS!

John 3:14-17 - And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up (crucified on a cross):  that WHOSOEVER believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.  For God so loved the world (all of humanity), that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world, through Him, might be saved.

Romans 5:8-9 - But God demonstrated His love toward (all of) us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for (all of) us.  Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

2 Corinthians 5:20-21 - Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us:  we pray you in Christ's stead, be reconciled to God.  For He has made Him to be sin for (all of) us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

THEREFORE, KNOWING HE LOVES US,

WE CAN TRUST HIM IN ALL THINGS!

Romans 8:28 - And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

1 Corinthians 1:4-5 - I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; that in EVERYTHING you are enriched by Him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge.

2 Corinthians 8:7-9 - Therefore, as you abound in EVERYTHING, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that you abound in this grace also.  I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.  For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might be rich.

2 Corinthians 9:8-11 - And God is able to make ALL grace abound toward you; that you, always having ALL sufficiency in ALL things, may abound to EVERY good work . . . Now He that ministers seed to the sower, both ministers bread for your food, and multiplies your seed sown, and increases the fruits of your righteousness; being enriched in EVERYTHING to ALL bountifulness, which causes, through us, thanksgiving to God.

Philippians 4:6 - Be careful for nothing; but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 - In EVERYTHING give thanks:  for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

WE HAVE MUCH FOR WHICH TO BE THANKFUL!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
