"Thanksgiving: The Birthmark of Christians"

Thanksgiving is a birthmark of a born again follower of Jesus.

1. The Jesus' Principle (Matthew 7:15-20)

• Jesus taught that you will know people by their fruits.
• A lack of gratitude is one of the marks of lost people. (Roman 1 :21; 2
  Timothy 3:1 -2)

2. The Paul Principle (Ephesians 5:18-20)

• Just as the lost are marked by the absence of thanksgiving, so the
  believer is marked by an attitude of gratitude. (1 Thessalonians 5:18;
  John 3:27; James 1 :17)
