This chapter urges generous and cheerful giving and v8 onwards shows the benefits of such giving.
1. The sin and shame of not performing our words v1-4.
2. Hearty giving is to be evident v5,6. Giving can show coveteousness if it is done with a reluctant spirit - Christian love expressed in generous giving brings its own blessing.
3. God's pleasure in the reflection of his own holiness v7. God's love and delight in the effects of his own grace in his people - giving from the heart with pure motive proceeds from love to Christ and a view of eternal realities.
