You Can't Out-Give God
Luke 6:38 NIV
1st We receive according to what we give
Luke 6:37-38 (ESV)
Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you.
Matthew 6:14-15 (NLT)
If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.

You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.

2nd We receive more than we give
