Why Gratitude Shapes the Christian Life

Gratitude is not merely a feeling or personality trait. It is a defining mark of the Christian life. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains why Scripture commands thankfulness and how gratitude shapes the believer's perspective, strengthens faith in trials, and fuels obedience and worship. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, Colossians 3:15–17, and Psalm 103:1–5, this episode shows that gratitude flows from the gospel and anchors the heart in the grace of God.
