In this sermon, John MacArthur explores 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where Paul commands believers to "In everything give thanks." MacArthur emphasizes that gratitude should be a constant aspect of the Christian life, regardless of circumstances. He highlights that thankfulness is a distinguishing mark of believers, contrasting it with the ungratefulness characteristic of unbelievers. By recognizing God's sovereignty and His work in all situations, Christians are called to express gratitude in every circumstance.
