I Peter 2: 12 (NIV)
Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify GOD on the day He visits us.
SALVATION OF A SOUL IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EARTHLY GAIN
When we "Live 2 Give" we are saying that the other person is more valuable than ourselves. Our lives should so reflect the giving heart of GOD that, though we are criticized for our methods, GOD is glorified for the goodness.
An old time Gospel preacher once said, "Don't let the method corrupt the mission." Our mission on earth is to glorify GOD and to bring all who do not know Him to the love and knowledge of Him, for His Holy Name Sake. "We are only one, but we are one; we can't do everything, but we can do something; what we can do, we ought to do; with GOD's help we can do it; LORD what would you have us do?" And when we have done our best, we must release it to GOD for His perfection of the offering, then give Him the glory due His Name, so that the recipient and the giver glorify GOD together.
EVERY GOOD GIFT AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE AND COMETH DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF LIGHTS, IN WHOM THERE IS NO VARIABLENESS , NEITHER SHADOW OF TURNING.
