According to 2 Corinthians 8 and 9, truly biblical giving that pleases God is dependent on His grace from start to finish. God’s grace: 1. Enables us to give generously. 2. Causes us to consider giving to be a privilege. 3. Assists us in viewing collections as gracious works. 4. Inspires us with Christ’s gracious example. 5. Helps us give by means of human leadership. 6. Graciously rewards us with an abundance of money to meet all of our personal needs and to give to others.
