Pastor Rob Davis: 2 Cor. 8:1-5

In 1 Corinthians 16:2 and 2 Corinthians 8:1-5 Paul gives seven characteristics that will mark our giving when it is motivated by the grace of God.

Giving that is motivated by God’s grace will be:

  1. Regular (1 Cor. 16:2).

    “First day of every week”

  2. Unconditional (2 Cor. 8:1-2)

    “Their poverty did not matter!”

  3. Proportional (8:3a)

    “According to their ability”

  4. Sacrificial (8:3b)

    “Beyond their ability”

  5. Voluntary (8:3c)

    “Of their own accord”

  6. Enthusiastic (v. 4)

    “Begging & urging to give”

  7. Secondary (v. 5)

    “First they gave themselves”
