Why Give? 4 Compelling Reasons to Give Moreਨਮੂਨਾ

Because We Have Received

As Christians, we are receivers. Recipients. We’ve received grace. We’ve received loving kindness. We have received salvation. We’ve received every good and perfect gift from our Father.

In short, God is generous toward us, and not just plain-old generous, but super-abundantly-above-and-beyond-all-we-can-ask-or-think generous (Eph 3:20).

As God’s dear children, we follow after Him and live generous lives because He was first generous toward us. Truly, our response to His generosity is to turn around and be generous ourselves with the time, talents, and treasures He has put in our hands, much like the debtor in Luke 7 who was forgiven much, and as a result, he loved much.

“He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God.” 2 Corinthians 9:8 MSG

Today, I encourage you to dream with God and identify ways to be generous in every way with every blessing God has given you so that praise rises to Him.
