So, what can we say about material blessing in the New Covenant? For us, we can say that material blessing has a specific purpose. Paul informs us in 2 Cor. 9:11 how God says, "You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God." Our material blessing is tagged with an outward focus. Our giving can change the way others worship.
