God's people sacrifice thank offerings

 Today, too, God gives us sunlight as energy, fresh oxygen, clean water and beloved people as well. So, we have nothing to envy in the world. The circumstances given to us and everything that has happened to us today are all God's gifts to us. Believing this, let us always give thanks to God.

 Ps 50:23 『"He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God."』

 Ro 1:21-22 『For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools . . .』

 The Bible tells us that the person who sacrifices thank offerings honors God.
 Those who are not grateful cannot honor God. Although they claim to be wise, their thinking becomes futile and foolish, so they cannot help but fall into ignorance and lose the kingdom of heaven.

 God came to this earth to seek and to save the lost, and gave us the laws of the new covenant and all the teachings of truth. In the process of keeping the truth of the new covenant and putting it into practice, there are sometimes easy things and sometimes difficult things awaiting us. However, all those processes are eventually a gift that God bestows on us to take us back to heaven.

 In the parable given by Jesus, when the prodigal son thought that he had much wealth and that everything in the world would go as he had planned, he abandoned his father, left home and set off for a distant country to pursue his own pleasures.

 However, when he squandered all his wealth in wild living and was put into a desperate situation where he had no food and even longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything, he was reminded of his father and his home that he had left, repented of his sin, gave up his dissipated life and returned to his home (Lk 15:11-24).

 Just as the prodigal son suffered many hardships, we sometimes also need a process of trials. God can grant all our wishes right away, but if He does so, we will think that everything in the world will go according to what we have planned and will abandon God and His kingdom as well. To grant us eternal happiness, God sometimes gives us temporary hardships. In the process, we need God more urgently and come to have a more earnest yearning for heaven, our spiritual home, so we can run powerfully toward the kingdom. This is how God refines our hearts.

 Therefore, All the members of World Mission Society Church of God[WMSCOG] strive to thank Elohim God;Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother who allow us these great God's gift.
