Sowing Generously in Christ
6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 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. 9 As it is written,
“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.”
2 Co 9:6–9

Sowing Generously in Christ
God calls His people to be cheerful givers, not out of compulsion but in response to His abundant grace. Just as a farmer reaps according to what he sows, so too our lives of generosity reflect the fruit of faith God has planted in us. However, this is no transaction to earn favor with God. Rather, our giving flows from Christ’s ultimate generosity—His sacrifice on the cross. Jesus gave His all, bearing the punishment for our sins and granting us the riches of eternal life. In His resurrection, He shows us that His grace overflows to supply every need. Confident in this, we trust God to provide as we give generously to others. Our cheerful giving is not a burden but an opportunity to reflect Christ’s love. Through our gifts, God multiplies His blessings, equipping His Church and drawing others to know His abundant grace in Jesus.
