Give to God


Jesus came into this world to save, to heal, to GIVE Himself as a ransom for many. He did not come into this world to take anything out of it. He brought us salvation. He showed His compassion to those who were poor, needy, sick and hungry.
If we are children of God and the Spirit of Christ lives in us we will have that same attitude that was in Jesus Christ. We will also rather GIVE than receive. We will GIVE ourselves to this world and to Jesus, and to God our Father. We will not be on the TAKE.
Many believers have open hands. They just want to receive. They want salvation FREE, they just WANT and WANT and WANT. If we have the Spirit of Christ in us we will be givers. Jesus said it is more blessed to GIVE than to RECEIVE. If we do not have anything to give we are POOR. If we don't have Jesus in us to give to this world then we are the poorest of all men even though we might be rich. Many believers are rich but inside they are poor because they don't have Jesus, they don't have LOVE, they don't have compassion. They maybe have money and earthly possessions but they are poor and naked and blind because the love of Christ is not inside of them.
If we have the love of Christ in us we will be giving, love and adoration to Jesus our Master, and to God our Father; we will give God the respect due to Him. We will give Jesus who lives in us to the world around us. How much Jesus do we have inside of us? How much are we giving of ourselves for the Kingdom of God? Are we on the TAKE or are we giving, our time, our resources? Are we giving of ourselves for the Kingdom of God? Because if we don't GIVE we will not RECEIVE. If we want eternal life we have to give ourselves to the Kingdom of God.
May Jesus bless you.
