The Role of Gratitude and Religiosity in Indebtedness to God
Gratitude serves as a vital counter to entitlement and ingratitude, especially in contexts of prosperity. While those with wealth may often feel entitled, individuals with less material wealth often express more gratitude, fostering happiness. The concept of being eternally indebted to God is rooted in recognizing that all blessings come from Him, which cultivates humility and reverence. King Benjamin's sermon illustrates that one can never truly repay God, as His generosity surpasses human ability. This realization encourages believers to understand their dependence on God and Jesus Christ for salvation and support. The relationship with God should not be viewed as transactional; instead, it is characterized by love and grace. Gratitude acknowledges that humans are unprofitable servants yet reassures that God desires to see them succeed. Embracing the idea of indebtedness to God—as exemplified by a BYU student who found comfort in serving a good Master—highlights the importance of humility in accepting God's goodness and fosters a deeper connection with Him.
