Enriching Grace

How God’s Amazing Grace Transforms Our Finances

The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. As it is written, “He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.” He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.

-2 Corinthians 9:6-11

Four Postures of Giving:

1. Got to Give

•Obligated to give

2. Give to Get

•Investment

•Expecting something in return

3. Get to Give

•Excited to give

4. Graced to Give

But as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you — see that you excel in this act of grace also.

-2 Corinthians 8:7

The Grace of Giving Comes Forth in:

1. All Sufficiency (autarkia/contentment) - all contentment

2. All Times and Things

3. All Good Works
