Gospel Generosity

January 23 - The Gospel & Generosity

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.” - Galatians 6:9-10

We have been saved by a generous God. God gave us his first and best, the greatest treasure the world has ever known, in Jesus. It was the gift of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. God gave us Jesus, an infinitely generous and sacrificial gift so we could have relationship with God, forgiveness of sins, and eternal life.

God’s generosity towards us drives us to love and care for the family of God with the same gospel generosity.

“Like nothing else could ever do, the gospel instills in me a heart for the downcast, the poverty-stricken, and those in need or physical mercies, especially when such persons are of the household of faith.” (23)

When we are generous with our brothers and sisters in faith, we actively participate in the good news of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. We share the hope of the gospel through our help and care.

Know the Gospel. Rehearse it. Share it in word and in deed.
