What illustration do we find in this passage of the way in which the service of God in his church calls for the contribution of all his people, whatever their talents, rank or age? Cf. 1 Cor 15:58. Answer: It is amazing how God can give us the KSA’s (knowledge, skills, and abilities, an acronym I have picked over the years from somewhere) to do His work. This is not unlike how the Church is to work.
What examples for ourselves can be found in the spirit in which the people brought gifts, and in the value and abundance of their giving? Cf 2 Cor 8:1-7. Answer: 2 Cor8:7 But just as you excel in everything--in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us--see that you also excel in this grace of giving. God commands us all to give. He first gives to us what is His and wants to see what we will do with it. Will we keep it in greed? Will we give back to Him, as commanded, what already is His?
