Why must we give thanks to the Father for making us fit for heaven?

Answered in 1 source

We must give thanks because our qualification for heaven is solely due to God's sovereign grace and mercy.

Giving thanks to the Father for making us fit for heaven is a vital response to the grace we receive through Christ. As elaborated in Colossians 1:12, the act of being made meet to partake in the inheritance is entirely God's doing. Acknowledging this grace fosters humility within us, realizing that we are unworthy and undeserving of such a high calling. Such gratitude compels believers to live lives of praise and worship, recognizing that our salvation is rooted in God's abundant mercy. Additionally, the acknowledgment of His grace in making us fit serves as encouragement for us to continually seek a deeper relationship with Him, as we understand that without His intervention, we remain destitute in our sin.
