But as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you—see that you excel in this act of grace also.
I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
(2 Corinthians 8:7-9 ESV)
The call to sacrificial love is sacred. Christ demonstrated it through the greatest sacrifice ever. If we seek to please the Lord, through our study, our zeal, our testimony and faithful lifestyle, why would we NOT seek to please Him through loving sacrifice. We are so rich in His love. Why hoard it?
