Hos 10:12 (ESV)Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that He may come & rain righteousness upon you. Luke 6:38 Give, & it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you. 2Cor 9:6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, & whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Prov 11:25 (NIV) A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. — Barnes notes: “He, who is “our Righteousness,” came down from heaven, to give life to us, who were dried and parched up and withered, when the whole face of our mortal nature was as dead.”— His righteousness is all that we need or require.
