Colossians 1:12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. [13] He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, [14] in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Because God is author and finisher of our salvation, thanksgiving is inevitable, not optional.
