• Perhaps the greatest thing that results from Christian giving is that there is a deeper appreciation among the saints for Christ Himself—God’s “unspeakable gift.” When we realize that these expressions of mutual love and care for one another were because of Him, He becomes more precious to us—and it results in further thanksgiving to God.
