Unspeakable Gift
Thanks be to God for his

4. In God’s gift to us of Jesus, we find
many principles to guide our own gift
giving.
A. We should be cheerful givers,
2 Corinthians 9:7.
2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV2011) 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.

5. B. We should be generous givers,
2 Corinthians 9:8-9.
2 Corinthians 9:8-9 (NIV2011) 8 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. 9 As it is written: “They have
freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever.”

6. C. We can God to respond to our giving
spirit by giving us more to give, 2
Corinthians 9:10-11a.
2 Corinthians 9:10-11a (NIV2011) 10 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. 11a You will be enriched
in every way so that you can be generous
on every occasion.

7. D. We should rejoice in the thanksgiving
and praise that will be returned to God
when we give in His Name,
2 Corinthians 9:12-13.
2 Corinthians 9:12-13 (NIV2011) 12 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. 13 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.7

8. Conclusion
Though we may not be able to express
in words the wonder of God’s gift to us in
Jesus Christ, we can surely be grateful
that . . .
A. He willfully gave us His Son to supply
our greatest need—redemption from
sin.
B. He gave the most precious part of
Himself when He gave us only
begotten Son.
8

9. C. He gave us the Greatest Gift in the
Universe, His Son, so that we can give
Him to others, likewise, through
sharing the gospel.
D. He gave us our Greatest Blessing so
that others might bless the God Who
gave Him to us with their own
thanksgiving and praise for God’s
Indescribable Gift.

Jesus? Have you accepted God’s gift of
