The Generosity of God
God is radically generous.
He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing (Ephesians 1:3), provides us with everything to enjoy (1Timothy 6:17), bestows on us favor and honor (Psalm 84:11), gives us the fullness of joy (John 16:23-24), lavishes his grace upon us (Ephesians 1:7-8), and it is true that every good and perfect gift comes from Him (James 1:17). It is God’s love that propelled Him to send us His only son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16). His love is generous in that way; to sacrifice His own son to die that we may have life. To become human, live a life that we could not live, die a death He did not deserve, and raise again that we may all be seated in heavenly places with Him. This is a radical and generous kind of love.
God has been teaching me about His generosity for as long as I can remember.
