Giving and Receiving Compared to Buying and Selling

I'm reading the book Wealth, Riches, & Money by Craig Hill and Earl Pitts. There is a thought in that book that has stuck with me.

The world runs on the economic system of buying and selling. You are always trading, exchanging. If you give something to someone, you are expecting something in return.

As a Christian, God's economy is all about giving and receiving. You give expecting nothing in return and frequently God provides for you by giving you something and you receive without it being tied to anything you did.

In other words, giving and receiving is about you having "introduced money to grace."
