Extra Notes

5.)GIFT OF GIVING: - “Give with liberality or generously”
Example: Barnabus) “

King David’s generous gift to God’s house -1 Chron 29:3,5,6,9,17 (NLT)“And now, because of my devotion to the Temple of my God, I am giving all of my own private treasures of gold and silver to help in the construction.

Then he went on to say in V.5. Now then, who will follow my example and give offerings to the Lord today?”
6 Then the family leaders, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the generals and captains of the army, and the king’s administrative officers all gave willingly. 9. The people rejoiced over the offerings, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the Lord, and King David was filled with joy.

David finished up saying V.17 “I have watched your people offer their gifts willingly and joyously.

Givers LOVE to give and want to see the work of God go forward and succeed.

Note these words: “confirm,” “the end,” and “blameless”

1.) The word “confirm” (Greek -bebaioo) means to befirm, stable, durable, or unshakeable.
· It’s a picture of someone standing firm on his feet.

2.) The word “end”(telos in Gk) in V.8 doesn’t mean the “end” of the age
· It means to become fully mature and ripened to the end.

3.) The third word is the word—“blameless”—(Greek anegkletos)
· It means holiness and personal integrity.

You combine these words together and this verse would paraphrase:
“These gifts make you fit, firm, and unshakeable. They put you on your feet spiritually and lead you into new levels of maturity. Ultimately, these gifts will work to produce an unimpeachable (Trustworthy) character in you”

Notice what Peter said, “every single person, no one excluded, has a GIFT.
