A GENEROUS LIFE…
|
|
Did you know God wants you to live a generous life? The next question is: Why does God want you to be generous? When you read God’s Word, you will discover it directs our lives toward generosity by talking about giving more than anything else. For example, the word “faith” is used 246 times in the Bible. The word “hope” is used 185 times when it comes to the Christian life. The word “love”, which is the epitome of Christ, is used 733 times. The word “give” or “giving” appears 2,285 times. The Bible talks more about giving than any other issue.
Why does God want you to be generous with your life? When you read the Scriptures each day this week, you will discover what giving will do for your heart and for you.
You will learn that giving makes you more like God. Giving draws you closer to God. Giving can help break the grip of materialism. Giving is a test of your spiritual maturity. Giving reveals your investment in eternity. Take a moment to read the Scriptures and then journal your thoughts and put into practice what God will show you. Embrace, enjoy, and exercise God’s Word.
