A Clear Biblical Appeal for Generous Giving
from Faithful to the End Hosted by Graceway Church of Michiana
As Paul offers clear motivation for giving. Paul is reminding the Corinthians of the opportunity to give in aid for the believers in Jerusalem. Paul offers clear connections to the Old Testament Scriptures, calling for believers to faithfully, joyfully and generously give. Giving reflects your priorities. As believers, we must make much of God's priorities. What magnifies God and furthers his kingdom? This must be considered by each believer, as they consider what they ought to give in faithfulness to God. Giving is a clear demonstration and declaration of the gospel. God is worthy and is worshipped by our faithful, generous and joyful giving. The divine giver, our gracious God, is worthy of our generous, joyful giving. The church was not designed or created by humanity; it was designed and instituted by God to fulfill his plan for his followers on earth. It is paramount that we understand the nature of the church, the priorities that should characterize the church and the character of the individuals that compose the church. We must ask and understand the answer to the question: what is the church? Therefore, the church is a committed fellowship of believers in Jesus, who passionately live their lives together, striving to live and advance the magnificent truths of their Savior, who’s example perfectly establishes, directs & prioritizes their daily lives.
