See on James 1:2. God’s gifts are granted cheerfully and abundantly. His stewards are to distribute these blessings in the same spirit as that in which He gave them.
What God has so graciously bestowed on us we are to share with others, “especially” with “the household of faith” (see on Gal. 6:10).
Gift.
Gr. charisma, a “gift” freely and generously given, a “favor” bestowed. Peter does not refer to the miraculous gifts that the Holy Spirit dispenses, but rather to the natural endowments and sustaining blessings every child of God receives continually.
“Freely ye have received, freely give” (see on Matt. 10:8).
Every man.
No Christian is too poor to extend a helping hand to others. The spirit of hospitality invests the most humble facilities with priceless value. Each person has some capacity for serving his fellow men. Sharing what we have with others is a Christian privilege and responsibility.
