John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
God is the ultimate giver! Describe God as a giver.
Genesis 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
If we are made in his image, then we are made to be givers. How does this help you understand that to share God's treasure we must be generous givers?
What other verses remind you that God is a giver?
2 Corinthians 9:10-11
10 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.
11 You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increaseyour 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.
God gives us his treasure. We share out of the overflow of the kingdom wealth God provides.
For what purpose does Paul say that God "enriched us"?
How will our generosity result in people giving thanks to God?
