The Rewards of Generous Living

Jan 25, 2026    Pastor Jerry Varner

Believers in Jesus are called to cultivate a heart that is oriented toward giving, recognizing that true generosity invests in eternal treasures rather than temporary gains. In Matthew 6:19 21, Jesus teaches us that storing up treasures in heaven brings lasting value, while Galatians 6:9 10 reminds us that doing good and sowing generously, in accordance with God’s timing, leads to a fruitful and enduring reward. Proverbs 11:24–25 reinforces the idea that a generous person prospers and brings refreshment to the lives of others. Generosity not only blesses those who receive but also brings joy and spiritual fulfillment to the giver. Ultimately, the goal is to demonstrate that a life marked by generosity leaves a lasting legacy of blessing and reflects the abundant nature of God’s own giving heart.
