Generosidade
A generosidade é marca do caráter de Deus e vocação do cristão. Deus ama ao que dá com alegria. Quem semeia generosamente, generosamente colherá.
Dar com alegria
Deus ama ao que dá com alegria. Cada um contribua segundo propôs no coração — não com tristeza ou por necessidade.
Each person should do as he has decided in his heart — not reluctantly or out of compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver.
The point is this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously. Each person should do as he has decided in his heart — not reluctantly or out of compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make every grace overflow to you, so that in every way, always having everything you need, you may excel in every good work. As it is written:
He distributed freely;
he gave to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.,
Now the one who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will also provide and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us. For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.
Now the one who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will also provide and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
You will be enriched in every way for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.
For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.
Partilhar e abençoar
Quem dá aos pobres empresta ao Senhor. A generosidade abre portas de bênção sobre quem dá e sobre quem recebe.
A generous person will be enriched,
and the one who gives a drink of water
will receive water.
One person gives freely,
yet gains more;
another withholds what is right,
only to become poor.
A generous person will be enriched,
and the one who gives a drink of water
will receive water.
Honor the Lord with your possessions
and with the first produce of your entire harvest;
then your barns will be completely filled,
and your vats will overflow with new wine.
When it is in your power,
don’t withhold good from the one to whom it belongs.
The one who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor
will himself also call out and not be answered.
Bring the full tenth into the storehouse so that there may be food in my house. Test me in this way," says the Lord of Armies. "See if I will not open the floodgates of heaven and pour out a blessing for you without measure.
For there will never cease to be poor people in the land; that is why I am commanding you, ‘Open your hand willingly to your poor and needy brother in your land.’
O ensino de Jesus
Dai e dar-se-vos-á. A quem te pedir, dá. O que fizestes a um destes mais pequeninos, a mim o fizestes.
Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure — pressed down, shaken together, and running over — will be poured into your lap.For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you."
Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure — pressed down, shaken together, and running over — will be poured into your lap.For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you."
Give to everyone who asks you, and from someone who takes your things, don’t ask for them back.
If you then, who are evil,know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Fathergive the Holy Spiritto those who ask him? "
Give to the one who asks you, and don’t turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
So whenever you give to the poor, don’t sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be applauded by people. Truly I tell you, they have their reward.But when you give to the poor, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.,
"And the King will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Generosidade de Deus
Se Deus dá sabedoria generosamente a quem pede, quanto mais nos dará Ele forças e suprimento em toda necessidade?
Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God — who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly — and it will be given to him.
If a brother or sister is without clothes and lacks daily food and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, stay warm, and be well fed," but you don’t give them what the body needs, what good is it? In the same way faith, if it does not have works, is dead by itself.
He gives strength to the faint
and strengthens the powerless.
Good will come to the one who lends generously
and conducts his business fairly.
