The bible says God rewards you seven times over, if you give to the needy, give with good intentions, give in secret, and give in humility, thoughts?

I have learned from social media and newspaper studies, God sometimes takes 30-40 years to reward those who help others, so I do not want you to think this is a bail yourself out of pain card you can use too boost your assets any time you are low on cash.., it is not as easy as just giving things away...

But Ben Sira says God repays you seven times over if you do good, do it for the right reasons, do it with he right intelligence and planning, and do it totally in secret with no witnesses around...

And Solomon's book of proverbs says God punishes you seven times over when you are caught stealing from others.

So giving is rewarded, and stealing is punished, according to the bible.

I believe that only happens when you do it genuinely out of kindness and not because you’re expecting to be rewarded.

What is up with the New Testament being obsessed with the number 7? Anybody have a opinion about this?

[jennifer_bloom]

I am not an angel with perfect knowledge, but I believe seven might represent truth, finalized achievement, and ideological purification.

You may be right and I appreciate your opinion. ❤️

Ever wonder why it’s old Nunber 7 or lucky 7 or any of that

@40andabellygoingon the number 7 is presumed to represent some type of spiritual alignment or healing to people be cause it concurs with the day of rest and the closing of weekly affairs

I believe in God and the Holy Spirit and I do see the work of what is mentioned in the Bible in my everyday life and in myself as I draw closer to God
