“Freely you received, freely give” means that God’s grace should make His people generous with what He has given them. Jesus said these words in Matthew 10:8 when He sent His disciples out to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons, and preach that the kingdom of heaven was near.
The disciples had not earned the authority Jesus gave them. They had received mercy, calling, teaching, power, and access to the kingdom as gifts from God. Because they received freely, they were to serve others freely.
This does not mean every Christian must give away all work, time, or service without support. It means ministry must never be driven by greed. The gifts of God are to be handled with humility, mercy, and open hands.
The Extra Study goes deeper into the passage, the meaning behind Jesus’ command, and what it teaches us about grace, service, and faithful Christian living today.
