Finally, at least two specific results of the above giving are described in the NT. First, 2 Cor 9:6, 9-10 says that as we give this way, our righteousness will grow. Some have understood this verse differently, but I believe that the quote from the OT text demonstrates this sufficiently.
Secondly, our giving will edify. Generous giving will cause other believers to rejoice and glorify God (see 2 Cor 9:13).
These are the two result of giving: an increased righteousness and edification for the saints. This post concludes this series on giving … now on to a different topic …
