Is Our Testimony Complete?

Is Our Testimony Complete? 2 Corinthians 8-9

 

 

Biblical Truth No 1:

Ministry MUST continue, so giving MUST continue.

“as there was eagerness to desire it, so there may also be a completion”

 

“desire” – wants/expectations

 

Only reached through giving

 

Biblical Truth No 2:

Committed giving IS part of biblical fellowship.

Koinonia = fellowship

Fellowship is sharing needs

ministry…passion

 

Biblical Truth No 3:

Your testimony is incomplete without sacrificial giving.

“As you excel in everything – excel in this grace as well”

9:1-5 failure to give = embarrassment

 

Biblical Truth No 4:

Sincere love of Jesus MUST result in sacrificial giving.

8:8-8  Is your sacrifice a grateful response to Jesus’ sacrifice?
