I’m thankful that God is triune. We need for God to be triune. Without the Trinity, there would be no gospel. If we, as sinners, are to be saved, we must have a truly divine Saviour who will die in our place, and only a Trinitarian God can provide that Saviour for us.
Our God exists eternally as three persons who love and enjoy each other—a community, we could say, of persons. This is important to us because it means that God can act freely in everything, and never because he needs something from us. That’s a God we can trust, and I’m thankful.

What are you thankful for today?
I didn’t post until late today, so I won’t be back later to add more thanksgiving posts, but if you post after I’ve posted, you can leave me a link in the comments and I’ll add your link tomorrow morning. Also, as more people participate, it gets more likely that I’ll make mistakes in my posting, so if I miss your post or mess up a link, please tell me. And if you miss a day or two, you’ll need to give me a heads up on your next thanksgiving post.
Do you want to participate, too? You’ll find instructions here for the ways both bloggers and nonbloggers can join in the thanksgiving.
