Praise And Thanksgiving

 The Lord Jesus offered up His sinless life to His Heavenly Father as the full and final sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. It was by willingly giving up His own perfect life as an offering to the Father at Calvary that the purpose for which Christ was born was accomplished. He became the full payment for the sins of the whole world and all who believe on Him receive forgiveness of sins because He died in our place.                                                                                                                                      The sacrifice that God required of those that are purchased by the blood of Christ is that their lives become a living sacrifice of Praise And Thanksgiving to the Savior Who bought us with His own precious blood. It is the fruit of our lips and the yielding of our inner being which flows out to Him from a broken heart that has been washed clean by the blood of the Lamb, which brings honor to His name.          Christ died once for all on the Cross.  Therefore let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, which streams forth from a grateful heart that has been washed clean by the redeeming blood of Christ and is shown forth through the fruit of our lips when we give thanks to the Lord for His goodness and grace. Sing praises to the God of our salvation.
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Christ’s sacrifice of Himself on the Cross for our sake. WE pray that we may show forth our grateful love and praise to You through an ongoing sacrifice of praise. May the fruit of our lips and the thoughts of our hearts be honoring to You. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
