Jesus teaches us that it is much more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). Not only do we receive back when we give (Luke 6:38) but we are also blessed with the joy that is found in a life of giving.

When we give we never lose. We also receive back what we give, and at the same time we fulfill a Divine Law. A Divine Law of giving. This is the true nature of God, and anytime we follow in that true nature, in His very footsteps, we are blessed just as He is Blessed (See The Blessed God).

Also when we give we learn to love others and we come to know God more. Because God is love, when we love we shall become more like Him. We shall come to understand and to know Him. Because our minds and bodies are created after the image of God, even after the fall of man (see Genesis chapters 1-3), there still remains a part of us that has the ability to know God and to understand who He truly is. Because we are created in His image, I believe that we still have that little bit of connection, the connection that has been fully restored in Jesus Christ, giving us not only hope but a greater and greater understanding of God and His nature through His Son and through the Holy Spirit that He has given unto us as believers. God Bless!
