“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” (Romans 1:21)
One of the identifying marks of a Godless, pagan society is thanklessness. John MacArthur on his “Grace to You” radio program said, “We are living in Romans chapter one with all its Godlessness today.” In the midst of all the sins mentioned in Romans chapter one is the sin of thanklessness. It is listed with idolatry, homosexuality, covetousness, fornication, a list of more than twenty-four items of sin.
One may not be guilty of committing every sin on the list, but if we haven’t expressed thanks to God for His many blessings to us, we need to pause a little while and thank Him for the gift of eternal life through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
