"Generosity and gratitude are necessary components to any thriving economy." -- Christ and Capital Instagram Feed
Exodus 20:15
Thou shall not steal.
Generosity and Gratitude define a Godly economy.
Both presuppose property rights:
Generosity because it really was yours to give away;
Gratitude because it really was someone else’s who gave it.
Generosity is something a man rich towards God pays to someone he owes nothing.
Gratitude is something a man poor in spirit pays to Someone he owes everything.
Acts 17:24-25
The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.
Generosity knows it owes no one and yet gives gifts.
Gratitude knows it owes someone and so gives thanks.
