Foundation of Generosity

"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."
~2 Corinthians 9:8

Generosity is one key virtues of a Christian as it is anchored in the foundation of Christ Jesus being the all-satisfying everything that parting with anything in generosity out of that becomes a nature so inherent and so characteristic of God in His nature as the giver of all.

Christ Jesus who exemplified the ultimate generosity by giving His all to even us who knew Him not and who were vilely against Him. He gave without any condition, any merit, any reliance on anything outside of Himself. That is true sufficiency and generosity.

In the likeness of Christ, we are called to overflow in abundant generosity due only to the past and ongoing grace that we receive from God and as well as trusting and hoping in the assured promise of God's grace toward us future. We rest deeply in His ultimate generosity as He empowers us to self-sacrificially gives and shares to our neighbours.

Let us indeed acknowledge and testify to the Ultimate Generosity and Giver of all through our giving and sharing in abundant generosity unto others.
