Freely Ye have Received, Freely Give
Matthew 10:8
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have received, freely give.


I. A VERY PROFITABLE RECOLLECTION. Have you received at all? How have we received? "Freely."

1. Look at your own personal salvation.

2. Look at the abundance of grace given you.

3. Look at the treasures set before you.

II. THE CONSTRAINING OBLIGATION — "Freely give."

1. Think what you have to give, give your own selves, your substance, your prayers.

2. How you are to give.

(C. Bridges, M. A.)

I. CONSIDER THE PRIVILEGES WHICH HAVE BEEN SO FREELY BESTOWED UPON US. The value of the gospel seen —

1. From our Lord's commission to His disciples.

2. The labours attendant on the execution of that commission.

II. THE DUTY RESULTING FROM THESE PRIVILEGES.

1. Freely give your money, influence, and ability.

2. Freely give your friends and relatives to engage in this great missionary work.

3. Freely give yourselves, your lives to this great work.

4. Freely give your prayers.

(J. B. Sumpter, M. A.)
