If you are a Christian, you have been given much. Much. In fact, for the rest of eternity we will be discovering more and more that was bought for us by Christ on the cross. In this life, we only begin to scratch the surface of all that is now ours. And it was all free.
How ought people to live who have been given so much? They ought to be extremely generous! How could we not be? We have been made princes when we were born as paupers. We were enemies, now we are friends. We were destitute and now we are infinitely rich.
What ought our attitude be like? We ought to be joyful! We ought to be thoughtful of others who have not yet experienced such a windfall.
When Jesus sent out His disciples, He commissioned them to bless others. They were to heal the sick, cleanse lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons. Imagine if you were the recipient of any of those actions. How grateful you would have been! Word would quickly get out that when you encounter a disciple of Jesus, your life is changed, for the better.
Is that the way the people around you feel?
