Generosity brings joy because of what God does in people for eternity (2 Corinthians 8:7, 9:6-7). In the Old Testament after forty years in the wilderness, God promises Israel land – every place the sole of their feet would tread will be given to them (Joshua 1:3). But they had to possess the land and battle for it. Though the land was promised, it came at a cost. The same is true in our lives. When we give generously or excel in the grace of giving, we reap a harvest. Even non-Christian research supports the idea that it gives to give. Generosity in all areas of our lives is part of what it means to be like Jesus and to know Him better. Our giving produces joy and thanksgiving in our own hearts and in the hearts of those who receive the blessing of our generosity. Our giving makes an impact for the Kingdom of God.
