You do well and excel in every respect—in unstoppable faith, in powerful preaching, in revelation knowledge, in your passionate devotion, and in sharing the love we have shown to you. So make sure that you also excel in grace-filled generosity. (2 Corinthians 8:7 Passion)

There is a grace that comes on and empowers us to live generously. Scripture says, “God gives seed to the sower.” In other words, when we get addicted to generosity, God will support our habit. The question is, when we see increase in our lives, what do we do with that increase? Pastor Cory shares about that and an exciting project our church is taking on.

2 Corinthians 9:8 says, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.” So, there’s a facet of the grace of God that launches us into a life of abundance and generosity. The question is, “How do we cooperate with that grace?” The first place we start is what God told us to do with the first.

We are right with God because of the Blood of Jesus. It’s not a place we achieve, but a position with God we receive. Right standing with God is a gift. That doesn’t mean that sin doesn’t have consequences, but when we do sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus. And as we grow in our right relationship with God and mature, we begin to live a life with less sin in it.
