This Lie Can Keep You From Living Generously

In the story of the Bible, God is depicted as a generous host who provides for the needs of his guests. However, humans live from a mindset of scarcity and hoard God’s many gifts. In this video on Generosity, we explore God’s plan for overcoming our selfishness by giving the ultimate gift of himself in the person of Jesus.

“When you believe there’s enough, you start seeing opportunities for generosity everywhere...” This is so profound!

[drengibami]

“Hey how generous should we be?”

God: “Yes.”

[Althea-M]

God the generous host. What a beautiful teaching.

Without Christ I'm nothing, with Christ all things are possible.

Our mindset is dangerous, we need a spiritual mindset from Jesus.

Generous enough to empty Himself for our sake ❤️

I started tearing up! Holy Spirit has been putting some of these things on my heart for awhile, to Trust Him. My daughter's name is Lilo, which means Generous One and will now remind me more of God's generous gift of his own life

At first I didn't wanna share my things and money with the poor. But after watching this I decided that when I grow up I wanna give a bunch of my things to the poor. And to teach the poor about Jesus. And to invite the poor to live with me. So I can take care of all of Gods follower's needs. And now I will pray and bless the lord a bunch more🙏

THANK YOU BIBLE PROECT!

I've been amazed at the generosity of people in our community. People continue to give and donate and pour into our church ministry and other around our community. Always enough to go around. When we help others God is always working in the background helping and giving more back in return. God is so Good.

This could be a world changing message, but not everyone have ears to hear it

God has blessed me richly! Not with money, but with everything I've ever dreamed of. He is gracious! He is generous if you trust Him! ✝️❤

You know, we live in a world in which it’s becoming increasingly difficult to be generous. I’ve given to people and families who thought I was only sharing because I pitied and looked down on them. It is pride that causes us to look out for only ourselves, but also which keeps us from receiving the generosity of others. This video has inspired me to give regardless of how it’s perceived, because I want to open up little pockets of Jesus’s Kingdom NOW. I will be actively looking for ways to give my time and resources to those in need. Thank you Bible Project!

Perhaps you’ve heard one of Jesus’ well-known teachings about trusting in God’s generosity: “Look at the ravens, they don’t sow seed… or have barns, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are to God than birds” (Luke 12:24)! Some people hear these words and feel comfort in God’s love. Others think immediately of the dead bird they saw the other day on the side of the road and wonder how that fits into Jesus’ picture of divine generosity! Jesus was obviously aware of the suffering and death that pervades our world (he was unjustly arrested and crucified). Yet he was able to maintain a mindset that saw the world packed with abundance by a generous creator God. How did he cultivate this belief when his world and his own life were marred by signs of scarcity and suffering? Jesus lived with a deep sense of God’s mercy and generosity, and this conviction was rooted in the storyline of the Hebrew Scriptures. In our video on Generosity in the Bible, we explore the biblical story and see how it invites us to view the world the way Jesus does—as an expression of God’s generous and creative love. In the person of Jesus, God gives the ultimate gift to a world that lives with a scarcity mindset, so that we can get a glimpse of the eternal and infinite abundance God has in store.
