The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. ESVUK

This is such an important Biblical principle.

Giving our money and material possessions for the Lord’s work is like sowing seed in the ground. If we are generous in our giving, God will give to us generously in return. There will be a harvest.

”One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed” (Prov.11:24,25; see also Prov.22:9).

However, Tom Hale writes wisely: ‘As a man sows, so will he reap. This principle applies not only to material things, but to spiritual things as well – such as forgiveness, judgment, and sin (see Matthew 6:12,14-15; 7:1-2; Galatians 6:7-10…).

Jesus said: ”And if anyone gives a cup of cold water to one of these little ones…he will certainly not lose his reward” (Matthew 10:42). But if we selfishly give to others only to gain a reward, we shall lose the reward. We must give unselfishly and generously, without any thought for our own benefit. If we give in this way, God will surely bless us both in this world and the next (see Proverbs 19:17; Matthew 25:34-40; Luke 6:34-35; 14:12-14).”
