The Law of Thanksgiving | Part 2

Thanksgiving is more than just a holiday tradition—it is a fundamental law in God's kingdom. In the message "Thanksgiving," Duane Sheriff teaches that Scripture reveals a powerful spiritual principle: whatever we are thankful for, we retain and increase, but whatever we become unthankful for, we eventually lose. Colossians 3 places thanksgiving alongside peace, love, and forgiveness as essential to the Christian life, while Romans 1 warns that an unthankful heart is the first step toward apostasy and a corrupted mind. When people knew God but refused to glorify Him or give thanks, their hearts became darkened.Thanksgiving, then, becomes a spiritual safeguard—preserving our faith, protecting our hearts, and anchoring us in the knowledge of God. It is also a legacy we pass to our children, teaching them to recognize the freedoms, blessings, and daily graces they easily overlook. When we enter God's gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise, we activate our faith and position ourselves to walk in the fullness of His blessings.
