2 Corinthians 9:6 (NKJV) 6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God loves when we give.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Not only does He love when we give, but He loves when we give bountifully and with a right attitude (cheerfully), not grudgingly or with a bad attitude.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This takes on new meaning when we begin to look at the Greek text and the various translations that are available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The word to look at here is \u201cbountifully\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Greek word used in the original texts is the same Greek word where the English word \u201ceulogy\u201d is derived from. When we think of a eulogy, we tend to relate that to a funeral. But in reality, it means \u201cblessing\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When a eulogy is spoken at a funeral, it is a blessing to those who hear it, as well as a verbal blessing over the person who has passed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, in reality, what Paul was saying is that if we sow (give) bountifully (to bless others), we will also reap (get) bountifully (a blessing returned to us).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s important to remember that we don\u2019t give to get. We give because we want others to be blessed. We give because God has told us to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But God established this principle thousands of years ago; if we give, we get. It’s very simple in its most basic form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s when man tries to twist it or pervert it that it begins to get complicated and out of line with what God intended.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What God is telling us overall is that what we receive will be proportionate with what we give, and the attitude with which we give it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Let\u2019s give bountifully, as Jesus Himself told us to do!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
