In Luke 6:38, Jesus said, "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."
Second Corinthians 9:6-11 says:
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.... (Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
In Galatians 6:7-9, the Apostle Paul, encouraging the Galatian Christians to give financially to those who teach them the Word, says:
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Those are just a few examples of the scriptures God has given to teach us the spiritual law of giving and receiving. Did He give us those scriptures so we would pseudo-piously ignore that law, acting as if it is ungodly to receive a financial harvest? No, He expected us to put the law of giving and receiving to work in our lives!
God Planted His Seed
If you want to understand just how powerful the law of giving and receiving actually is, consider this: The whole plan of redemption was based on it.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). Think about that. God gave one Son so that He could receive many more sons in return.
To those of us who live on this side of the Cross and the Resurrection, it's hard to grasp what a sacrificial gift that really was. But step back in time and view it from God's perspective for a moment.
He had already suffered some tremendous losses. He had lost his top-ranked, most anointed angel, Lucifer, and a third of the angelic hosts. He had lost the man and woman He created because they had bowed their knee to Satan. In addition, because He had given man dominion over the Earth, God had lost access to that Earth through the Fall.
Any way you look at it, that's a lot of real estate down the drain!
What did God use to turn that great loss around? He used the law of giving and receiving.
