2 Corinthians 9:6-7 meaning...

In this passage, the apostle Paul is addressing the matter of giving to the church in Corinth. He is using the analogy of sowing and reaping to encourage them to be generous in their giving. He is saying that if someone sows sparingly, they will only reap a small harvest, but if they sow generously, they will reap a abundant harvest. He is also emphasizing that giving should be a personal decision, made freely and without coercion. He says that giving should be done cheerfully, as God loves those who give with a joyful heart.

This passage reminds us of the importance of being generous in our giving, whether it be to the church or to others in need. It also reminds us that giving should be a joyful act, motivated by love for God and for others, rather than by obligation or duty. It is a reminder to give freely and cheerfully, motivated by love for God and for others. That giving should be a personal decision and should be done from the heart, rather than reluctantly or under compulsion.


2 Corinthians 9:6-7. Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.
