Inexpressible Thanks

"For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God."
2 Corinthians 4:15 (ESV)

His Glory
....reveals His worth Revelation 4:11
....reveals His goodness Romans 8:28

His Grace
....is a product of His goodness. John 1:17
.....is His provision for eternity with Him. Ephesians 2:8

Our Benefit
....results from His glory & grace

"When God gets the glory, we receive the benefit."
--Steve Terrell

His glory is revealed to us by His goodness.
His goodness extends His grace to us.
His grace makes provision for us.
And His provision is Christ, Jesus.

Romans 5:8, 2 Corinthians 9:11-15

"MOMM, HEY MOM!!"

"Calvin, stop yelling across the house! If you want to talk to me, walk into the living room, where I am!" (Calvin trods across the house, into the living room)

"I stepped in dog crap! Where's the hose?"

Often, the most defeating thing that can happen is ...being right!

"Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city." (Proverbs 16:32)
