Thankfulness and generosity go hand-in-hand. When we consider the blessings that God has bestowed upon our lives, we are filled with the desire to not only tell others how God has blessed us, but to be a blessing to others ourselves. When others see the joy we have in the LORD and His blessings upon us – especially His gift of eternal salvation He purchased for us with the precious blood of Jesus – they will be filled with the desire to know that joy and peace for themselves.
The full context of Philippians 4 tells us that Christ strengthens us not to accomplish our own goals, but to live out our Christian calling with joy even in the midst of difficult challenges. This is extremely important because the unsaved people in the world will observe how professed Christ followers deal with adversity to discern whether we truly can “do all things through Christ.”
Thanksgiving is a great time for evangelism
