"They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need." Acts 2:45 (NIV)

Those of the early church who truly received the life changing message of the Gospel were completely transformed! People became SACRIFICIAL givers, willing to help and give all they had. Believers sold their property and possessions and gave them away to help the ministry of the Gospel. They redefined generosity for the Church with SACRIFICIAL hearts, giving SACRIFICIALLY!

When the Spirit of God comes to live inside a person they can't help but be generous. God's very nature is giving, and doing it in a SACRIFICIAL way! When He lives in us we become SACRIFICIAL givers as well! It was the love of God that moved Him to give His only begotten Son for mankind, and it is the love of God living inside of the believer that moves them to give of their substance in a SACRIFICIAL way! Amy Carmichael, a missionary who served in India for 55 years without furlough, once said, "You can always give without loving, but you can never love without giving." Allow the love of God living in you to move you to be generous in all circumstances! Give SACRIFICIALLY to help your brother and sisters in Christ! Give SACRIFICIALLY to help the spread of the Gospel around the world! Live as your Heavenly Father and be a SACRIFICIAL Giver!

"God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you're ready for anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done. As one psalmist puts it, He throws caution to the winds, giving to the needy in reckless abandon. His right-living, right-giving ways never run out, never wear out." 2 Corinthians 9:8-9 (MSG)
