When you give, two good things happen as a result of your gifts—those who receive are helped, and they will overflow with thanks to God. They will be glad not only because of your generous gifts… but they will praise God for this proof that your deeds are as good as your doctrine. And they will pray for you with deep fervor and feeling because of the wonderful grace of God shown through you.

THREE-FOLD APPEAL
1. Example
Our thanks for the sacrificial giving of others should motivate us to our own sacrificial giving
toward God’s work.
“Others are eager to give.” 2 CORINTHIANS 8 :4
![Page 7: Thanks + Givingf049e6c6bc51d6086828-1f3d9bf827f6f62072870f1ea348709c.r40.cf… · THANKS + GIVINGTHE OUTCOME OF “As a result of your gifts, those who receive are helped, and they](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052103/603e3ed592ac4a61ab227870/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
THREE-FOLD APPEAL
2. Proof
When believers are not generous givers, there is no proof they are devoted disciples.
“This is one way to prove your love is real, going beyond mere words.”
2 CORINTHIANS 8 :8 , LB

THREE-FOLD APPEAL
3.Grace
Our thanks to God for his grace initiates an overflow of generosity to others so they too may know that grace.
“You know how full of grace our Lord Jesus was: he was so very rich, yet to help you he became so very poor, so that by being poor he could make you rich.”
2 CORINTHIANS 8 :9 , NLT
