The key to generosity…

…is to see yourself as materially poor, says Tim Keller.

In an extended video interview with Desiring God Ministries discussing his book “Generous Justice; How God’s Grace Makes Us Just“, the New York City pastor, he explains how the Gospel necessarily leads to generosity.

The Christian Post:

Often people look at a poor person and ask, “Why didn’t you pull yourself up by your bootstraps?” But if God asks that same question to humans then everyone would be spiritually dead, said Keller in an interview with Desiring God ministry.

And if Christians question whether the poor person will abuse their charity and grace, then they should remember that they have also “trampled” on God’s charity and grace by not living the life they should.
