Now, a couple of key words in these first nine verses. Key word number one is charis. Charis is where we get the word charismatic. And charis is the Greek word for grace and gift. And it threads throughout the entirety of these two chapters, chapters 8 and 9. God has charis for his people. It is a privilege to be a people of charis. Christ has an act of charis in verse 9. The collection itself for Jerusalem is called a charis, or a gift. And it is the grace, or the charis, that funds their charis, their giving. So giving is not a tax on grace. Rather, in Paul's worldview—call it Paul's economy, God's economy—giving is grace. Charis means giving and grace simultaneously. And it's the circulation of God's grace to us, and therefore our grace to one another.
