We can understand that nine lepers who didn't know God could be thankless.

We can understand a world of thankless people.

I cannot understand a thankless Christian when we understand what the Lord has done for us.

Welcome to Grace to You, the Bible teaching ministry of John MacArthur. I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

Here's a question for you. What would you expect to be true of the most contented Christian in the world?

Well, the Puritan William Law had an answer for that.

He said this, it is not he who praise the most or fasts the most. It is not even he who does the most, but it is he who is always thankful to God. So why is thankfulness so foundational to the Christian life? Find out today as John

MacArthur helps you prepare for tomorrow's Thanksgiving celebration here in the United States,

and really shows you how to have a life marked by gratitude every day. But before the lesson,

and speaking of being thankful, we can't say thank you enough

to the people who run this radio station. In fact, here's what John often would ask listeners

like you to do to encourage our radio partners. The favor I want to ask of you is to reach out

and say thank you to the people at this radio station

that you're listening to.

Obviously, we're happy when people call and write grace to you or when they go to the website

and interact there.

But we also understand very well that this is a partnership that involves

very, very dedicated people in the radio side. And they are in every sense our ally. And it would

be wonderful for you to let them know how much the Christian radio station means to you. What you hear every day

on Grace to you runs counter to what you're going to hear on basically all other media. And I think

you know that. In the age of outright lies and deception, we're all about the truth. And this

Christian radio station is all about the truth.
