"Generosity"
2 Corinthians 9:6-13
2 Corinthians 9:6-13
The point is this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously. Each person should do as he has decided in his heart — not reluctantly or out of compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make every grace overflow to you, so that in every way, always having everything you need, you may excel in every good work. As it is written: He distributed freely; he gave to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. Now the one who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will also provide and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us. For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the proof provided by this ministry, they will glorify God for your obedient confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone.
It's Okay, Give It Away
(v.6)
2 Corinthians 9:6
The point is this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously.
When It Comes to Your Treasure, Give It with Pleasure
(v.7)
2 Corinthians 9:7
Each person should do as he has decided in his heart — not reluctantly or out of compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver.
Let Go of Greed, and God Will Provide All You Need
(v.8)
2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make every grace overflow to you, so that in every way, always having everything you need, you may excel in every good work.
Giving is not actually about giving.
It's about faith.
