Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again (Luke 6:38).
God is the greatest giver there is. The Bible says “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son…” (John 3:16). His love motivated Him to give the greatest gift of all: His precious Son Jesus Christ. It’s God’s nature to give. No wonder the Bible declares that He’s given us ALL things that pertain to life and to godliness (2 Peter 1:3).
God is always excited whenever His children demonstrate His giving nature. A giver will never live in poverty or lack because the Bible says “The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself” (Proverbs 11:25). Inverting this statement, you’ll easily deduce that the one who is stingy and greedy will not experience the blessing of the giver as the Scripture here reveals.
The Bible didn’t say, “Receive, and then give and it shall be given unto you,” rather it says, “Give, and it shall be given unto you good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom’’. That’s why the Bible declares that it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35).
You’re made in the image and likeness of God; you’ve been created to function like God; therefore you have the nature of a giver. Whenever there’s a call to give, always give your best, just as God gave His best by sending Jesus to die for the salvation of mankind.
