“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” 2 CORINTHIANS 9:8 (NIV)
You are blessed to be a blessing. You're not meant to just sit back and bask in God's grace. Grace is given so that you can abound in good works. We're saved by grace. We're forgiven by grace. The Bible says we're strengthened by grace. We're set free from problems and sins by grace. All of the talents you have were given to you as a gift of grace. You're used by God's grace. The Bible says we're kept saved by God's grace. You're transformed by grace.
Robert Louis Stevenson said, "There is nothing in the universe but God's grace." We walk upon it, we breathe it, we live and die by it. God's grace is what holds everything together. If it weren't for God's grace, your life would fall apart, your family would fall apart, this nation would fall apart, the world would stop spinning on its axis. It is all held together by God's grace.
Everything in life is a blessing from God.
Knowing all that God has given us, how could we possibly just use it for ourselves? God's abundance is not an invitation to indulgence, it is a call to generosity. God blesses you so you can bless other people. And how do you bless others? By giving to them what God has given you: your skills, your time, your treasures, your talents. When you give out of what God has given to you, this verse says you are abounding in every good work. That is the richest life you could possibly live.
