Giving Back as God Gave to UsSample
Day 3: God’s Generosity in Giving His Son
John 3:16-17 is perhaps the most well-known verse in the Bible, declaring that “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This scripture captures the heart of the Christmas message and God’s generous love for humanity. He gave us Jesus—not because we earned it, but because of His boundless grace.
Christmas celebrates this incredible gift. Jesus came into the world not in a palace, but in a humble stable, illustrating that God’s greatest gifts often come in unexpected ways. God’s generosity didn’t hold anything back; He gave His very best for us.
As believers, we are called to reflect this generosity by giving not just from our resources but also from a heart that mirrors God’s love.
Reflect on how you can embody this spirit of giving, not just at Christmas but throughout the year. Generosity is a powerful way to spread the message of hope and salvation, as our gifts can be a tangible reminder of God’s love to those in need. Consider how you can give to support God’s work in the world, knowing that your generosity can have a lasting impact.
Reflection:
• Remember that God gave His very best by sending Jesus, out of His love for us.
• Think about how Christmas is a reminder of God’s boundless generosity.
• Reflect on ways you can model this generosity in your own giving, especially to those in need.
• Pray for a heart that desires to give freely, following God’s example of love.
This Christmas, reflect God’s love by supporting our ministry and sharing the joy of Christ’s message with those who need it most. For more info: https://investbeyondyourgrave.com/
