Key Principles
As we bring our This Act of Grace series in for a landing this Sunday, we’ll look at five key principles that will, when carefully applied, ensure a heart aligned with God’s own heart in the management of the money and resources that he’s given us. In fact, what should be unsurprising to us at this point, is that these principles apply generally to every aspect of our lives and not simply to our money and giving. The first three messages in this series are available to watch or listen to here in case you’ve missed any. We’ll be in 2 Corinthians 9:6-15. Give it a read before Sunday.
Series: This Act of Grace
Todd Dugard
Message: 4 – Key Principles
Harvest Bible Chapel
Text: 2 Corinthians 9:6-15
February 23, 2025
The Word of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, who did, through his transcendent love, become what we are, that he might bring us to be even what he is himself.
Irenaeus, Against Heresies
He becomes as we are so that we become as he is.
Chad Bird
John 3:16
Every act of grace I perform is rooted in five principles:
Principle 1 – Sowing and Reaping (v. 9:6, 8-10)
Malachi 3:10
I have had many things in my hands that I lost; the things that I placed in the hands of God I still possess.
Martin Luther
I Timothy 6:6-10a
Principle 2 – Desire and Decision (v. 9:7a)
Deuteronomy 15:10
God, who knows and appraises our hearts, values only those gifts that come as a free expression of the deepest part of our souls. Gifts given under some sense of external compulsion will always be halfhearted at best.
David E. Garland
Principle 3 – Affirmation and Joy (v. 9:7b)
Principle 4 – Blessing and Thanksgiving (v. 9:11-12)
Principle 5 – Generosity and Glory! (v. 9:13-15)
Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am your sin. You have taken upon yourself what is mine and given me what is yours.
Martin Luther (attributed)
Romans 15:25-27
