Summary
Paul commends the Macedonian churches for their sacrificial generosity despite severe poverty, using their example to challenge the Corinthian church to excel in giving. True generosity flows from surrendering oneself first to the Lord, not from financial abundance.
Highlights
There is more to life than money. You are not your bank account. You are who God says you are.
It is safer for you to live on 90% with the Lord than 100% on your own.
Generosity is a byproduct of giving yourself to the Lord.
