A misnomer about Christian faith is related to the concept of abundance
often interpreted as prosperity..
The historical narrative of Scripture frames the concept of God provisions by events comparable to planting, gathering and receiving, relative to the perspective of farming.
Contextually, in the era of the Old Testament, a typical livelihood was of farming consisting of seasons. Biblically, farming was conveyed as a metaphorical comparisons for abounding in life by the acts of planting seed, time for growing and a time for harvest.
Significant, however is the existential root of abundance being centered in the act of giving.
Symbolically, abounding is the simplicity of God’s intent and purpose of receiving, of works so to give to others as well as man’s interdependence upon one another, being fundamental to the functioning of faith in Jesus Christ having effectual lives by trusting God.
Biblical Principles |
Faith consists of trusting God, abounding in the all sufficiency of his Providence.
Mark 12:41-43 |
“And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.”
(The Bible - King James Version)
