It's a saying, it is better to give than to receive but it is written, it is more blessed to give than to receive.
Acts 20:35 I have shown you all things, that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Eph 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
And who are commanded by the scripture to give and always ready to distribute their richness and not expecting any return but from God.
1 Tim 6:17-18 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work. It is the intention of the giver that count. It must not be done reluctantly or of necessity.
2 Cor 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or by constraint: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2 Cor 9:9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
But a curse for those who receive any one that come into their house that will introduce another doctrine or another savior that will intercede between us to the Father.
2 Jn 1:10-11 If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither wish him happiness: For he that wisheth him happiness, is partaker of his evil deeds.

ReplyDeleteIf we truly "knew" how blessed we really are, I believe we would do more for the kingdom of God. We are "already" blessed and we just need to appropriate what has already been freely given by grace.
ReplyDeleteMary is blessed but we are more blessed than her.
ReplyDeleteLuke 11:27 And it came to pass, as he was speaking these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps which nourished thee.
