30 Bible Verses About Sharing Blessings

by Jennifer

The Bible teaches us that blessings are not only meant to be enjoyed by individuals but are also intended to be shared with others. Sharing blessings, whether they come in the form of material goods, love, wisdom, or kindness, is an essential part of the Christian walk. Throughout Scripture, God encourages His people to be generous and to consider the needs of others, teaching that in sharing, we also receive abundant blessings. This practice reflects God’s love and generosity towards humanity, and through it, we grow closer to His will for us as His children.

In this article, we will explore 30 Bible verses that speak to the importance of sharing blessings. From material provisions to spiritual gifts, these verses reveal that sharing is not just a command but also a reflection of God’s character and His desires for how we interact with others. We will also delve into the concept that sharing blessings is a form of worship and an avenue for spreading God’s love.

8. Galatians 6:9-10 (KJV)

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”

9. 2 Corinthians 8:13-14 (KJV)

“For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality.”

11. Proverbs 19:17 (KJV)

“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.”

God views acts of generosity to the poor as lending to Him. When we share our blessings with the less fortunate, God promises to repay us in ways that reflect His abundant goodness.

12. Luke 12:33 (KJV)

“Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.”

13. Philippians 4:19 (KJV)

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

God promises to supply all of our needs. As we share our blessings with others, we can trust that God will meet our own needs abundantly.

15. Luke 3:11 (KJV)

“He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.”

17. Matthew 10:8 (KJV)

This verse highlights the principle that everything we receive from God is given freely. In response, we are to share His blessings with others freely, just as we received them.

18. 1 Timothy 6:18-19 (KJV)

“That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.”

Believers who have material wealth are encouraged to be rich in good deeds, ready to share their resources. This not only helps others but also stores up rewards in eternity.

“If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?”

Faith without works is dead. If we see someone in need and do nothing, our faith is incomplete. True sharing involves action to meet the tangible needs of others.

20. Matthew 25:40 (KJV)

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

“And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday.”

“And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.”

“He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.”

Those who are generous with their resources, especially toward the poor, are blessed by God. A “bountiful eye” refers to seeing the needs around us and responding with a heart of generosity.

24. 1 Corinthians 16:2 (KJV)

“Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.”

25. Ephesians 4:28 (KJV)

“Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.”

The goal of labor is not just personal gain, but also to have the means to share with those in need. Work is a blessing that enables us to bless others.

26. 1 John 4:7 (KJV)

“Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.”

“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.”

The ultimate sharing of blessings is through love. When we love one another as Christ loves us, we will naturally share the blessings He has given us, both spiritually and materially.
