What Does Ephesians 5:20 Mean?
Another mark of the Spirit's fullness is thanksgiving: 'giving thanks always for all things.' Gratitude becomes the constant posture of the heart, in every season and circumstance. The filled life is a thankful life, finding cause to bless God at all times.
This thanks rises 'unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.' We give thanks to the Father, and we do so through the Son, in whose name we come. Christ is the channel of our gratitude as He is of every blessing. A grateful heart, offered in His name, is pleasing to God.
