The True Riches of Generosity

It is not uncommon for our giving to be tied somehow to our getting. Whether it’s a premium in return for a donation, some kind of tangible honor or recognition in return for our support, or the confident assertion that God promises that we’ll always get more in return than we could ever possibly give to him. That giving to him is in fact the very pathway to getting. Why should we give? And what exactly are we promised when we do? Paul’s excursus on giving ends with a concluding exhortation in 2 Cor. 9:6-16 on “The True Riches of Generosity”. It is his most definitive answer as to what we can expect to get in return for what we give.
