A CALL FOR CHRISTIAN LIBERALISM
Luke 6:38
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
People who don’t know much about the Bible have heard this phrase: “Give and it will be given to you.”
Luke 6:38 is a call for Christian liberalism. Liberalism is one that is lacking most of the time in a Christian’s faith.
Christians are so strong when it comes Christian’s life issues and faith, like doctrine, morality and relationships but weak, very weak when it comes to giving.
Jesus calls His followers to be liberals in the area of giving.
Jesus’ 5 staccato commands:
*Love your enemies (27)
*Do good to those who hate you (27)
*Bless those who curse you (28)
*Pray for those who mistreat or abuse you (28)
*Give (30, 38)
