SUMMER OF GENEROSITY: Loving Generously. The first step toward relational generosity is recognizing that we have a problem. Our relationships do not look much like Jesus’ relationships. And our community, at least for most of us, does not look much like his community, where cultural and social and economic barriers were far less important than our common human needs. But the gospel shows amazing generosity by inviting every sinner into fellowship with God. Gospel living shows the same generosity to others.
