- is not something we do, but something we are.
- is a way of life for Christian who understand the Grace of God.
1. πππ πππ πππ πππππππ (2 π²ππ. 9:6)
we reap in measure we sow
1.1 more we invest in the work of the Lord
more FRUIT will abound to our account.
When we are tempted to forget the principle of sowing and reaping, we need to remind ourselves God is unsparing in His Giving.
2. π±ππππ πΈππππππππππ (2 π²ππ. 9:7)
2.1 we reap as we sow with right motives
2.1.1 giving must be well planned
2.1.2 not reluctant or under compulsion
2.2 why should we give from the heart?
2.2.1 a giving attitude is more important than
the given amount.
2.2.2 God is concerned about how a person
gives from his/her resources.
2.3 The old testament practice of giving.
2.3.1 Jacob followed his grandfather's
example of tithing.(Genesis 28:20-22)
2.4The new testament practice of giving.
2.4.1 grace of giving, Paul encouraged
proportionate giving (1 Corinthians

Tithing is a good plan to begin, but as the Lord blesses us, we must increase that percentage, if we are to practice a kind of Grace Giving.
3. πΈππππππππ (2 π²ππππππππππ 9:8-11)
a. God can make ALL GRACE abound, all
things at all times.

What it really means is that Christian who practices grace giving will always have what he needs when he needs it.
b. The Grace of God enriches a believer morally and spiritually so that they grow in Christian character.
In his walk and in his work, he depends wholly in the sufficiency of God.
- Adequate resources within (Philippians 4:11)
c. As Christiansβ¦..
c.1 need to help and encourage one
another.
c.2 we must not depend on one another.
Our dependence must be on the Lord Himself (John 4:14)
d. We not only share God's grace, but we also
share his righteousness (2 Corinthians 9:9)
e. Grace giving builds Christians character
e.1 the giving of money is just as spiritual an
act as the singing of a hymn and handling
out a Gospel track.
e.2 Grace giving - Thanksgiving to God.

In grace-giving our motive is not βto get something, but receiving God's blessing is one of the fringe benefits.
