Freely You Received, Freely Give

“Freely you have received; freely give” — Matthew 10:8.

When God does something distinct and special for our souls or bodies, He entrusts it to us as a sacred gift to share with others. “Freely you have received; freely give.”

It has pleased the Master, in these closing days of the present age, to reveal Himself through a special blessing in the hearts of His chosen disciples throughout the Christian Church. Yet this blessing is meant to reach a still wider circle. Each of us who has been brought into such an intimate relationship with God becomes a steward and witness of these deeper truths to everyone we can influence.

If God has revealed Himself to us as the One who sanctifies us, it is so that we may help others know Him as the One who sanctifies.

If He has become our Healer, it is because there are sick and suffering people to whom we can bring a blessing.

Likewise, if the hope of the Lord’s coming has become precious to us, it would be worse than ingratitude to hide our testimony to this truth and keep it only for our own comfort.
