Thanks Be To God For His Indescribable Gift!

Paul continues talking about supporting the advance of the gospel in II Cor 9.  This chapter seems to be about generosity....cheerful giving. God wants this from us...he loves a cheerful giver...not a reluctant giver or a giver under compulsion or obligation.

So how do we pull this off?  We live in a selfish time.  Most people no longer give ...let alone gift to the church. Charity is not that popular. And if we give...is it ever really cheerfully?  Not under compulsion?

II Cor 9: 9-11 tells us that it is God who will make us generous as he sanctifies us.... Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God

It sound like God has given us Jesus...the "gift that just keeps on giving"
