For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. – 2 Corinthians 8:9
And what great motivation for tithing this verse is! At the same time, I believe this principle applies to so much more. Someone once said that we Christians act selfishly and sinfully when we forget our status in Christ. We act like paupers when in reality we have direct access to God’s throne of grace.
How silly we are to horde God’s resources to ourselves and not do good unto others… Will we really run out of God’s love and grace to share to others? We are not poor… We are rich because of Christ!
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. As it is written, “He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.” He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way for all your generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. – 2 Corinthianis 9:8-11
Let us overflow in good deeds towards others and praise God.
