Give God the Glory for All Things - Part 1

1 Corinthians 10:31“...whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”

Ephesians 5:20 “Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;”

One way in which a Christian can bring glory to God is to give thanks for ALL THINGS!


1. True Love

Thank God for true love; we would never know what true love is if God didn’t give us His love as the ultimate example. God’s unconditional love! “Charity never faileth” 1 Corinthians 13:8

2. The Gospel

Thank God for the good news - the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ; without the gospel we would have no hope for eternity. Romans 1:16

3. Trials

Thank God for trials that God allows in our lives. This is certainly a tough time to give thanks, but when we understand why God allows trials in our lives, we are able to give thanks. God uses trials to help our faith, to bring us back to the fold, and to mold us into the image of Jesus Christ. God makes no mistakes. God knows best. James 1:2

4. Faithfulness

Thank God for His faithfulness. When we fail, He still remains faithful. It is His faithful hand that works in our lives to enable us to be faithful to Him, to our calling, and to the end. Every Christian should desire to hear those words, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” For His glory alone! Matthew 25:21

5. Prayer

Thank God for prayer. Prayer is to talk with God. God is too good to us in allowing us to approach Him with confidence at any time and any place. An opportunity to pray on behalf of others, to pray for direction, wisdom, daily needs, and to cast all our cares upon Him. Colossians 4:2

6. The Great Commission

Thank God for the great commission. It is a great privilege that God has chosen His church to work together with Him to reach a dying world with the precious and blessed gospel. There is no greater calling than to be part of God’s amazing plan. ~ Mark 15:16

Next week we will look at five other things to give thanks for.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

Those who only praise God because he does them good should rise to a higher note and give thanks to him because he is good. ~ CH Spurgeon

In Christ Alone,

C Haddad - Galatians 2:20

"...whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." ~ 1 Corinthians 10:31
