"If There Be First A
Willing Mind"
2 Cor. 8:12
All service rendered to Christ must be
willing, voluntary service, constrained by nothing but love for him.If you give
grudgingly,God will not have your gift. If you serve
grudgingly,God will not have your service, no matter
how great or small. Religion forces people to do what they would not do
otherwise, by the threat of punishment or the promise of reward. Grace makes
people willing to do and give purely for the glory of Christ, even when it is
costly and displeasing to the flesh.
