The spirit of liberality is the spirit of heaven. This spirit finds its highest manifestation in Christ's sacrifice on the cross. In our behalf the Father gave His only-begotten Son; and Christ, having given up all that He had, then gave Himself, that man might be saved. The cross of Calvary should appeal to the benevolence of every follower of the Saviour. The principle there illustrated is to give, give. "He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked." 1 John 2:6.

Gavmildhedens ånd er en himmelsk ånd. Denne ånd får sin højeste udfoldelse ved Kristi offer på korset. For vor skyld gav Faderen sin enbårne Søn og da Kristus havde givet alt, hvad han havde, gav han sig selv, for at mennesker kunne frelses. Korset på Golgata burde kalde godgørenheden frem hos hver eneste af Kristi disciple. Der gives her et billede på at give og atter give. "Den, der siger, at han bliver i ham, han er også selv skyldig at vandre således, som han vandrede." 1Joh. 2,6.
