Blessings of God’s Legal Requirement Being Satisfied

 

…when I tried to keep the law,
 
it condemned me.
 
So I died to the law—
 
I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—
 
so that I might live for God.
 
My old self has been crucified with Christ.
 
It is no longer I who live,
 
but Christ lives in me.
 
So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God,
 
who loved me and gave himself for me. 
 
Galatians 2:19-20
 

Blessings of Giving Cheerfully

 

Remember this—
 
a farmer who plants only a few seeds
 
will get a small crop.
 
But the one who plants generously
 
will get a generous crop.
 
You must each decide in your heart
 
how much to give.
 
and don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure.
 
“For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”
 
2 Corinthians 9:6-7
