The Bible teaches the general principle that those who are generous will find favor: “One person gives freely, yet gains even more another withholds unduly but comes to poverty. We can give of our time, our material resources, our hospitality, and our friendship. Generosity can be manifested in many ways.
And as we see God being generous, we are to be generous. The gift of Jesus to sinful mankind was the ultimate act of generosity.Īs we have been forgiven, we are to forgive (Ephesians 4:32). In the face of such generosity, we can only say, “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” (2 Corinthians 9:15). Above all, God demonstrated His generosity when He offered His Son as a sacrifice to atone for our sin. He supplies us with color, light, sound, air, and the ability to taste and enjoy, hear and appreciate, touch and be satisfied. God created this planet that is specially suited to sustain us and provide for our needs and pleasures. God’s generosity is evidenced all around us. Proverbs 22:9 says, “The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.” God is generous, and He expects us to follow His example. The Bible has a lot to say about generosity as a desirable character trait. Generosity is the quality of being kind and unselfish, especially as it pertains to sharing money and other valuables with others.
