GOSPEL GENEROSITY Sample Clauses

GOSPEL GENEROSITY. The vertical response to the gospel is gratitude. The horizontal response to the gospel is generosity. In his book The Mission of God, Xxxxx Xxxxxx shows that the Bible story is “all about mission” – God’s mission is to save a people for himself through Xxxxx Xxxxxx. Xxxxx is the focus of the story, but his identity has missionary implications (Luke 24:45-48).

In his book Ministries of Mercy: The Call of the Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx gives this illustration: “Why is generosity the mark of being a Christian? Imagine a person who is deathly ill. The doctor announces to him that there is a medicine which can certainly cure him. Without it, he has no hope. ‘However,’ says the doctor, ‘it is extremely expensive. You will have to sell your cars, even your home, to buy it. You may not wish to spend so much.’ The man turns to his doctor and says, ‘What do my cars mean to me now? What good will my house be? I must have that medicine; it is precious to me. These other things which were so important to me now look pale by comparison to the medicine. They are expendable now.
