Summary
Paul demonstrates that financial generosity flows from God's grace, using the Macedonian church's sacrificial giving as an example. Through Jesus's own impoverishment for our salvation, Christians are motivated to give generously and fairly, recognizing that all possessions are gifts from God rather than personal property.
Highlights
Everything you have is a gift from God. You're a steward, not an owner. When we wrap our minds around that and let go of our money as our God and as ours, we become less American, less materialistic, and we become more Christian.
The way that you spend your money is a very clear gauge of what is in your heart.
You will experience more security and more joy than you ever could with all the money or all the material possessions in the world.
