Thankful and Qualified: Paul’s Call to Praise and Prayer

The Apostle Paul, inspired of the Holy Spirit, writes of the balance of prayer—petition and praise—and emphasizes thanksgiving for God’s work in our lives. Using Colossians 1:12, we learn three blessings believers already possess: an inheritance, deliverance from darkness, and transfer into Christ’s kingdom through redemption and forgiveness.

The episode encourages ongoing gratitude, public and private thanksgiving, and living as saints who reflect God’s truth and holiness, reminding listeners that these blessings are present realities grounded in grace and the Holy Spirit’s assurance. (Remastered).
