When God set his affection on his people, he rooted this relationship in blessing. Because God has faithfully demonstrated this reality in our lives, we now have the privilege of being to others what God has been to us. We do this through missional living, Spirit-led generosity and an intentional posture towards the nations. All of these efforts are fueled by our desire to help others see God for who He really is and themselves for who they can be. Let’s be a blessing!
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:13-14
We have seen that our calling to be a blessing involves our speech and actions. Today we will be reminded by scripture that blessing also involves our wealth. As believers, our generosity has a greater purpose and is led by the Spirit, not reluctantly or by compulsion.
