Why is giving thanks to God important?

Why is giving thanks to God important?: "Answer: The Bible is filled with commands to give thanks to God (Psalm 106:1; 107:1; 118:1; 1 Chronicles 16:34; 1 Thessalonians 5:18). Most verses go on to list reasons why we should thank Him, such as “His love endures forever” (Psalm 136:3), “He is good” (Psalm 118:29), and “His mercy is everlasting” (Psalm 100:5). Thanksgiving and praise always go together. We cannot adequately praise and worship God without also being thankful."

But if this seems true, where does that leave the state of evangelism today? Is faith-sharing a fading practice, or does it simply look different today?
