- John 3:16 declares the motive (“God so loved”)
- Romans 8:32 reveals the measure (“did not spare His own Son”)
- 2 Corinthians 9:15 expresses the response (“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!”).
- God’s giving is the source of all Christian generosity.
- Every act of love, every offering, every sacrifice flows from His first and greatest gift which is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
- In Christ, the Father gives heaven’s best, holding nothing back. Jesus is not a footnote to generosity; He is the definition of it.
- To live generously is to reflect the heart of the God who gives Himself.
