Daily Bible Quote On Blessings

2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.

In 2 Corinthians 9, the Apostle Paul is writing to the Corinthians about the act of giving, specifically in the context of financial contributions for the support of the church and those in need. The chapter discusses the principles of giving generously, willingly, and with a cheerful heart. St.Paul is encouraging the Corinthians to give to those in need, as they had previously committed to doing.

Let's examine the verse in its immediate context, starting with 2 Corinthians 9:6-7:

"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

So, St.Paul is emphasizing the importance of giving with a generous and cheerful heart, rather than grudgingly or out of obligation. He uses the metaphor of sowing and reaping to illustrate the principle that if you give generously, you will receive generously in return.

Now, let's look at 2 Corinthians 9:8 in this context:

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work."

This verse is highlighting the idea that when you give generously and with a cheerful heart, God is capable of providing you with an abundance of grace and sufficiency in all things. In other words, God blesses those who give willingly and generously, ensuring that they have everything they need for their own well-being and an abundance to continue doing good works and helping others.

The key message of 2 Corinthians 9:8 is that God rewards those who give with an open heart by ensuring that they have the resources and grace necessary to continue doing good deeds and helping others. It's an encouragement to be generous in giving, as God's blessings will not only sustain you but also enable you to be a blessing to others.

2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.

2 Corinthians 9:8 is part of a larger passage in which the Apostle Paul is writing to the Corinthians about the principles of giving and generosity. Let's take a look at the verse in its broader context to better understand its meaning:

2 Corinthians 9:6-15 (NIV):
"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: 'They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.' Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us, your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. And in their prayers for you, their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!"

In this passage, St.Paul is encouraging the Corinthians to be generous in their giving to those in need. He uses the metaphor of sowing and reaping, emphasizing that those who give generously will receive blessings in return. In 2 Corinthians 9:8, St.Paul affirms that God is able to make all grace abound to the Corinthians, ensuring that they have all sufficiency in everything. In other words, God will provide them with everything they need so that they can abound in every good work.

The context here stresses the importance of cheerful, voluntary giving and the idea that God will reward and enable those who are generous. This passage encourages a spirit of generosity and a willingness to support those in need, as it leads to thanksgiving to God and the spread of the gospel.

Daily Bible Quote On Peace

Hebrews 12:11
All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Hebrews 12:11 is part of a larger passage in the Book of Hebrews that provides spiritual and moral exhortation. To understand the meaning of this verse, it's essential to look at the surrounding context, starting with Hebrews 12:5 and continuing through Hebrews 12:11. Here is the full passage:

Hebrews 12:5-11 (ESV):
5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?
"My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives."
7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. 11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

In this passage, St.Paul, the author of Hebrews is addressing a Christian audience, encouraging them to endure hardships and difficulties with the understanding that they are undergoing God's discipline. The main points of the passage can be summarized as follows:

    Discipline as a Sign of God's Love: St.Paul begins by quoting Proverbs 3:11-12, emphasizing that the discipline they are experiencing is a sign of God's love for them. God disciplines those whom He loves, just as a father disciplines his children.

    Endurance Through Discipline: St.Paul acknowledges that discipline can be challenging and painful in the moment, but it is necessary for growth and spiritual development. It is a mark of their identity as God's children. Without discipline, they would not truly be considered God's children.

    Purpose of Discipline: The primary purpose of God's discipline is to mold and refine believers, helping them become more like Him. It is intended for their good, with the ultimate goal being that they may "share his holiness."

    Peaceful Fruit of Righteousness: Hebrews 12:11, acknowledges the immediate difficulty of discipline, noting that it seems painful rather than pleasant. However, it concludes that "later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." In other words, the ultimate outcome of enduring God's discipline is spiritual growth and righteousness, resulting in peace and a closer relationship with God.

Hebrews 12:11 is a reminder to us that while the experience of God's discipline may be difficult at first, it is ultimately for our benefit and leads to a state of righteousness and peace for those who allow themselves to be trained by it. The passage underscores the idea that enduring hardships and God's discipline is an essential part of the Christian journey and spiritual growth.
