INGRATITUDE IS A SIN                          2 Tim. 3:1-5


 2Tim. 3:1-5
 (1) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
 come.
 (2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
 boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
 unthankful, unholy,
 (3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
 incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
 (4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more
 than lovers of God;
 (5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power
 thereof: from such turn away.

                                              Rom. 1:21
Rom 1:19-22
(19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in
them; for God hath showed it unto them.
(20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are
made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are
without excuse:
(21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not
as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their
imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

James 1:2-4
(2) My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations;
(3) Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
(4) But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect
and entire, wanting nothing.

Rom 8:18, 23, 28
(18) For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not
    worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed
    in us.

(23) … even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the
    adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

(28) And we know that all things work together for good to them
    that love God, to them who are the called according to his
    purpose.
