A TREASURY OF THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS
Thomas Brooks:
“God’s greatest mercies call for our greatest thanks.
His saving sinners calls for eternal praise.”
“The greatest blessing we can receive from God is salvation from sin and Hell. And therefore, the greatest reason we should give thanks to God is for His great salvation.”
John Bunyan:
“He who is truly saved will spend his days singing praises to the God who redeemed his soul from damnation.”
Stephen Charnock:
“What can a saved sinner do, but lift his voice in perpetual thanks for God’s unmerited mercy?”
John Flavel:
“Eternal praise and thanksgiving befits those who have been saved from eternal damnation.”
Jonathan Edwards:
“True thankfulness flows out of a redeemed heart, recognizing that it owes all to the free grace of God.”
“The soul’s deepest gratitude is reserved for the One who delivered us from sin and brought us into His redeemed family.”
“Thanksgiving to God for our salvation is not only a duty, but the most natural expression of a heart transformed by grace.”
William Gouge:
“Thanksgiving is the language of the redeemed. It is the voice of the soul, expressing gratitude to God for His redemption.”
John Owen:
“Gratitude for deliverance from wrath, stirs up great love for the Deliverer.”
“Our greatest joy is to rejoice in our salvation; and our most fervent thanksgiving is to God for His grace in saving sinners.”
Richard Sibbes:
“Thanksgiving is the sweetest music that can be sung to God.
It is the most pleasing sacrifice that can be offered to Him.
