God<br />

Remembers<br />

Our Giving<br />

Theme<br />

When we do good toward God’s children, it is<br />

not forgotten. As we walk in faith and patience,<br />

we will receive God’s promises, and we will<br />

receive our full reward.<br />

Scripture Reading<br />

Hebrews 6: 10 “For God is not unrighteous to<br />

forget your work and labour of love, which ye<br />

have shewed toward his name, in that ye have<br />

ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11<br />

And we desire that everyone of you do shew the<br />

same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto<br />

the end: 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers<br />

of them who through faith and patience inherit<br />

the promises.”<br />

Hebrews 6:10-12 “For God is not unfair. How<br />

can he forget your hard work for him, or forget the<br />

way you used to show your love for him-and still<br />

do-by helping his children? 11 And we are anxious<br />

that you keep right on loving others as long as<br />

life lasts, so that you will get your full reward.<br />

12 Then, knowing what lies ahead for you, you<br />

won’t become bored with being a Christian nor<br />

become spiritually dull and indifferent, but you<br />

will be anxious to follow the example of those who<br />

receive all that God has promised them because of<br />

their strong faith and patience.” (TBL)<br />

Relating to the Scripture<br />

The writer of Hebrews is commending the<br />

people for their support of the poor saints in<br />

Jerusalem who are suffering famine. He also<br />

emphasizes that God does not forget the good<br />

that believers do for others. In fact, God’s<br />

promise of blessing and a full reward are the<br />

benefits of those who minister and keep on<br />

ministering to those who are in need.<br />

Believers can rest assured that there is great<br />

reward for faithfulness in giving. Bible annotator<br />

Finis J. Dake comments: “God’s promises are<br />

His debts to man. His righteousness and justice<br />

require Him to keep them, so you will be<br />

rewarded.” (The Dake Annotated Reference<br />

Bible, Hebrews 6:10 note)<br />

As we give our tithe and offerings, through<br />

the ministry of this church, we will be blessing<br />

others. We also have the knowledge that God<br />

takes notice of our giving. And with God’s<br />

notice come God’s promises of our own<br />

blessing.<br />

Offering Admonition<br />

Through giving, we minister and keep on<br />

ministering. God sees our giving and His<br />

promises are our inheritance.<br />
