HIS GREATEST
GIFT IS PEOPLE
JAMES 1:18
18 Of His own will He brought usforth by the word of truth, that wemight be a kind of first fruits ofHis creatures.
The greatest gift that God gives is people. All the gifts come
down from above. Ultimately, the greatest gift that comes
down from above is Jesus, and the greatest gift that God gives
is people.
GIVE YOUR FIRST FRUIT“God give His Best Fruit, His only
Son – Jesus Christ”
The result is, you can boast in your exaltation as you have an attitude of gratitude, and that’s
where he wants us to be as God’s people, to get our eyes
off of how people see us and to understand how the Father sees
us and why he lavishes such good gifts upon us.
