Thanksgiving is a natural element of Christian worship (1 Corinthians 14:16-17 ) and is to characterize all of Christian life (Colossians 2:7; Colossians 4:2 ). Early Christians expressed thanks: for Christ's healing ministry (Luke 17:16 ); for Christ's deliverance of the believer from sin (Romans 6:17-18; Romans 7:25 ); for God's indescribable gift of grace in Christ (2 Corinthians 9:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:57; compare Romans 1:21 ); and for the faith of fellow Christians (Romans 1:8 ).
2. Epistolary thanksgiving: An element in the opening of a typical Greek letter. All of the Pauline Letters with the exception of Galatians begin with a thanksgiving. See Letters.
