“You will be enriched in every way for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.” (v. 11)

It’s right there in the Bible:

“You will be enriched in every way,” when you give in faith.

But this isn’t a “give to get” theology. We’re not on cable TV, begging you to send in your “seed money.” In fact, there is no guarantee that giving faithfully leads to financial increase.

How are faithful givers “enriched,” then?

In every conceivable way.

You are enriched when you release your stuff, because your Savior is better.

You are enriched when neighbors are blessed, because Gospel light breaks in between the dollars.

You are enriched when ministries move forward, because your money is multiplied into a cooperative effort.

You are enriched when you trust Him, when you fund good, and when you release treasures here with a view to treasure in heaven.

Stinginess only enriches in one way, as you count with coldness your cash on hand.

But generosity? It enriches in every way—because it casts your eyes (and your accounts) heavenward.
