The Apostle Paul established “relevance” by starting with some sort of a thankful statement. There are only a few of Paul’s letters that do not start off with a thankful statement (Galations, II Timothy, and Titus).
The premise here is that Paul knew that these thankful statements set him up to be more impactful as a teacher. There is something inside of all of us that responds positively to a teacher that is thankful.

Thanksgiving in the Bible is best described as a posture. It is a physical posture but deeper. It is a posture of the heart and mind. It is the way a person approaches any situation, event, or circumstance.
