and the 32nd verse.

Now, there's no ulterior motive for what we do on Celebration Sunday.

It is a matter, like we said before, of giving and sewing, but the reason behind it, I believe, is in this verse right here.

It said, he that spared not his own son,

but delivered him up for us all. How shall he not with him also freely give us all things.

Many of you know John 316 for God so loved the world that he what?

He gave.

Did you know that is the chief, the greatest expression of love is giving?

God so loved the world that he gave, his only begotten son, that whoever believes on him

but not perish, but have everlasting life.

God gives, but he doesn't receive for us.

If you don't receive what he gave, it won't benefit you.

No matter how much is given to you, you won't enjoy any of it except what you receive.

You've got to be not only a giver, but also a receiver. In fact, how do you have

anything to give except you receive? And the more you receive, the more you can give.

And if God spared not his son, if the Lord was ever going to withhold something from you, if there was

ever going to be something that was too much, it would have been his son. And so if he'll give you

Jesus, what else will he give you? Well, what the verse say? Put it back up. John 832. If he'll give you Jesus, if he gave him up for us, how shall he not with him also what?

Freely, somebody say freely, freely, freely, give us what? All things. Somebody say freely. Give us what? All things.

Somebody say freely.

Give us all things.

Freely.
