LIVING & GIVING: PART ONE – LAW OF THE HARVEST

November 07, 2024

Written by Bryant Wright, Founder, RFTH

“Remember this: ‘Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.’”  
2 Corinthians 9:6

Paul taught about generosity using the example of farming: “He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly…”

This made a lot of sense to the agricultural community of his day. Still, farming isn’t as large an industry in North America as it once was, so I have a feeling if Paul were talking to the church today, he might also be using the stock market to make his point.

Think about it this way: If you purchased $1,000 worth of Apple shares in June of 1997 when shares were trading as low as $3.56 a share, that investment would today be worth $1.8 million! I believe that’s a pretty good return! This is the stock market version of Paul’s “law of the harvest” principle.

Farmers know there’s no guarantee that a seed planted will produce a great harvest. The same is true with stocks. You can invest in a certain stock and have great hope for the “harvest” or return down the line, but it doesn’t always work out. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. But what Paul is teaching in the “law of the harvest” is that when it comes to giving generously to God, we will see a great return.

What does that “return” or “harvest” look like? It is people coming to know Christ; it is people growing in their faith and walking with Jesus. The more generously we give to Christ-centered, great commission churches and organizations, the more we will see lives changed.

This is the law of the harvest.
