It’s My NEW NATURE to Be Generous
John 3:16 (NLT): “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”
God is the best example of giving. His motivation is love and it results in radical giving – self-sacrificial giving. He is a radical giver.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV): “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
When you became a believer and follower of Jesus, something incredible happened: you became a new creation. The old, self-focused version of you was replaced with someone who reflects God’s generous nature. God by His Spirit lives in you now, and generosity is part of your DNA – part of who you are!
Think of it this way: God isn’t asking you to “try harder” to be generous. It’s who you are because of His work in you. When you give, you’re living out your true identity in Christ. It’s not about being pressured or guilted into giving—it’s about joyfully reflecting God’s heart.
Ask yourself: “Does my generosity reflect my new nature in Christ?” God is more interested in your heart of generosity than the size of your gift. I encourage you just to start, even if it seems small. As you give, you’ll experience the joy of living out your identity and being a part of God’s mission.
As a family, we have the privilege of partnering together to reflect God’s heart through our generosity. There are several ways to partake in giving.
- The giving bucket is located at the back of the room for cash giving.
- You’ll also find a SnapScan QR code on the bucket for card giving via SnapScan.
- If you prefer online giving, our bank details and PayPal information are available at gracelife.co/give.
Thank you for being a part of this family and for playing your part in advancing God’s Kingdom. Your generosity matters, and we’re so grateful for your heart to give!
