God's Goodness is Our 'Why'
Commentators explain that our thanksgiving is rooted in God's essential nature. He is fundamentally 'good.' For humanity, this goodness is expressed as 'mercy' or 'lovingkindness' (Hebrew: chesed). Scholars note this isn't just forgiveness for the guilty, but a broader, unending kindness and benignity that is part of His very character. We give thanks because of who He is.
