Friendship With God And Jesus:       CSGI068                      Contents   Bot   Prev   Next 

John 3: ¹⁶God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. (CEV)
1. What does it mean to you that you will never really die?

1 Timothy 6: ¹⁷Warn the rich people of this world not to be proud or to trust in wealth that is easily lost. Tell them to have faith in God, who is rich and blesses us with everything we need to enjoy life. ¹⁸Instruct them to do as many good deeds as they can and to help everyone. Remind the rich to be generous and share what they have. ¹⁹This will lay a solid foundation for the future, so that they will know what true life is like. Matthew 6: ²¹Your heart will always be where your treasure is. (CEV)
2. How does enjoying life become one of your best dividends for loving Jesus?

Malachi 3: ¹⁰I am the LORD All-Powerful, and I challenge you to put me to the test. Bring the entire ten percent into the storehouse, so there will be food in my house. Then I will open the windows of heaven and flood you with blessing after blessing. Acts 20:³⁵By everything I did, I showed how you should work to help everyone who is weak. Remember that our Lord Jesus said, "More blessings come from giving than from receiving." (CEV)
3. When do you expect to see heaven flood you with blessing after blessing?

Proverbs 11: ²⁵Generosity will be rewarded: Give a cup of water, and you will receive a cup of water in return. Luke 6:³⁸If you give to others, you will be given a full amount in return. It will be packed down, shaken together, and spilling over into your lap. The way you treat others is the way you will be treated. (CEV)
4. Why does God put such a priority on generosity in our relationships?

2 Corinthians 9: ⁷Each of you must make up your own mind about how much to give. But don't feel sorry that you must give and don't feel that you are forced to give. God loves people who love to give.... ¹²What you are doing is much more than a service that supplies God's people with what they need. It is something that will make many others thank God. (CEV)
5. Who benefits the most when we love to give and we actually do it well?

2 Corinthians 9: ⁶Remember this saying, "A few seeds make a small harvest, but a lot of seeds make a big harvest." Proverbs 14: ¹⁴You harvest what you plant, whether good or bad. (CEV)
6. Where else in life can we reap the kind of dividends that God promises?
