GOD'S INDESCRIBABLE GIFT

Passage: 2Corinthians 9:12~15  

Key verse: 15


1. God is praised by generous giving (12-14)

Our purpose in giving is not only to help those in need; it is to glorify God. Our giving is an expression of our thanks to God for his surpassing grace. When we give, we want others to praise and thank God--we should not expect them to heap praise on us. When we live obedient and sacrificial lives, consistent with the gospel we confess, then God is pleased and honored. We must praise God with our lives as well as with our lips.

2. God's indescribable Gift (15)

God loved this sin-sick world so much that he gave his Son to die for us. Whatever we give to others is small compared with God's gift and grace to us. When we remember God's indescribable gift to us, we can give to others generously, sacrificially and joyfully, with hearts full of thanksgiving.


Prayer: Lord, thank you for your indescribable gift. Help me to give to others with a joyful and thankful heart.

One Word: Thanks be to God
