Top 7 Bible Verses on Thankfulness

The Offering of Thanksgiving

Psalm 116:17 “I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.”

This might surprise you but there is an offering that we can make that is pleasing and acceptable to God. It is the offering of thanksgiving. This “sacrifice of thanksgiving” was not a separate offering but part of the peace offering that Israel was commanded to give (Lev 7:11-18). This peace offering of thanksgiving reminds me that we now have peace with God (Rom 5:1) because of Christ’s supreme sacrifice (John 3:16-17). Do we really need motivation to give thanks for this? I wouldn’t think so.
