NT 260: Part ThreeSample

Giving multiplies just like planting a seed causes a plant to grow and produce much more. At first glance, it sounds like Paul is saying If you give, God will see to it you get more money in return. However, the return he is talking about is spiritual results. If the Corinthians give, those who receive as a result will thank God for you and be able to continue to reach people for Jesus. A small gift results in people getting closer to God. Paul thinks that is a great investment!

Giving is a privilege. It’s a simple way you can help someone else grow spiritually - maybe someone you will never meet, in a place you will never go. People give, which meets the needs of others who do God’s work. Give wisely to those who will multiply your gift for a spiritual harvest.
