II Corinthians 9: What Goes Around...

There are several excellent expressions about giving in II Corinthians 9:


  • "Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly; whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully."
  • "God loves a cheerful giver."
  • "Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!"

Is "receiving for giving" a hard and fast rule?  Is giving generously a kind of quid pro quo that you can insist upon and take God to court if He fails to come through?

No, there is no "guarantee" of material blessings for financial rewards - yet the truth remains that there is often a strong correlation.  The more we allow God's blessings to pass through our fingers to bless others, the more He typically entrusts to us - for us to continue using as a blessing to others!
