Give Thanks to the Father

Summary

The sermon focuses on Paul's prayer in Colossians 1:9-13, emphasizing the necessity of being 'made meet' or qualified by God to live a worthy Christian life and inherit the saints' inheritance. It highlights that true meekness and fitness for heaven are gifts from God, not achieved by human effort, and that God is a giver who has predestined believers as His children. The message encourages believers to live with deep gratitude, recognizing their sufficiency and belonging in Christ, and to understand the exclusivity and holiness required to be partakers of the heavenly inheritance. Ultimately, it points to Jesus Christ as the source of this qualification and the reason believers can confidently say they belong to God.
