2 Corinthians 9:8
ח וֵאלֹהִים יָכוֹל לְהַשְׁפִּיעַ עֲלֵיכֶם כָּל חֶסֶד, כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּהְיֶה לָכֶם תָּמִיד דֵּי צָרְכְּכֶם בְּכָל דָּבָר, וְהוֹתֵר לְכָל מַעֲשֶׂה טוֹב,
The concept of abundant grace, as discussed in 2 Corinthians 9:8, can be paralleled with the blessings and generosity mentioned in the Torah. One key passage is found in Deuteronomy 28, which speaks of the blessings for obedience to God’s commandments. Deuteronomy 28:2 “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God.” Also, according to Deuteronomy 28:8 we read, “The Lord will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in all that you undertake. And he will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.” These verses highlight the idea that obedience to God results in His blessings, which can be seen as an expression of His grace abounding in various aspects of life. The concept of God’s provision and blessings being abundant and overflowing in response to faithfulness is mirrored in the NT with the idea of grace abounding in 2 Corinthians 9:8. These passages from the Torah and the NT emphasize the comprehensive and overflowing nature of God’s blessings and grace in the lives of those who are faithful, reflecting a consistent theme of divine generosity and provision. This is how Paul taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
