BODY
A. Spiritual Gift of Contribution
a. Defined as the Supernatural ministry grace of giving a share of or imparting
to give a share of, impart
1. Contribution is usually, but not limited to monetary gifts
i. John the baptist used same word when he said...
Lk
-share w/ here is the same word contribute
ii.
John is talking about all of our duty to contribute (this is a major characteristic o God’s people)
-above that, then, is the ministry & spiritual gift of Generous Contribution
iii.
This might be called the spiritual gift of generous contribution o resources
2. (in our main vs) Paul is saying, if you’ve been called 2 contributing, then tap in2 God’s spirit 4 generosity!
b.
Generosity is giving that displays a singleness of heart & intent
“generosity,” that is, a giving that displays a singleness of heart and intent (; , ). 59 Either meaning fits the present context very well.
But it might be better to stick with the basic and well-attested meaning “simplicity.”
60 Paul is encouraging the one who gives to others to do so straightforwardly and without ulterior motives.
1. Paul is encouraging the 1 who gives to others to do so straightforwardly & w/out ulterior motives
i.
Thus, generous does not describe the amount o the gift, but the sincerity o 1’s motives
ii.
Perhaps the work o the spirit in this gift is the ability 2 give w/out ulterior motive / expectation o return on 1’s investment.
B. Generous contribution functions in two ways
-Paul says in...
The spiritual gift of contributing personal finances
2 Cor 8:2-5
Moo, Douglas J.. The Epistle to the Romans (New International Commentary on the New Testament) (p.
770).

B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.. Kindle Edition.
-This is clearly not the gift of the rich...
-The normal reaction of some1 who has little/nothing is 2 hoard, right?
*Look at this spiritual math: Holy Spirit Joy + poverty = generously willful giving beyond 1’s means
*This is supernaturally contributing beyond mere human capability & ingenuity, w/ maximum effectiveness
B. Generous contribution functions in two ways
a.
The spiritual gift of contributing personal finances
1. Barnabas may have operated in the gift of contribution in personal finances
