Generosity is not something we're born with. The Psamist said in *Psalm 51:5*, _“Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.”_ Like the Psalmist, everyone is born with that inherent sinful nature — which often comes with lots of bad behaviors and habits: greediness, selfishness, jealousy, envy, covetousness... name it. A child is inherently selfish. The parents have to start by telling their kid to _“share their biscuits with their friends.”_ Even with all the discipline instilled, some still do carry most of the ungodly habits and behaviours into adulthood. But Salvation is the true *game-changer.* True transformation is immediately evident in becoming generous with what we have. A person who has the Holy Spirit but still selfish has resisted change in that area. *2 Corinthians 9:7* says, _“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”_ And true spiritual maturity? It's never evident in trying to amass everything for oneself and never sharing. A great number of people today are single due to selfishness. Many have lost divine connections due to it. If you've ever had a selfish person as a friend, you can tell how *evil* and *devilish* the manifestation of that behavior is. If a person says they're spiritually mature but have a hard time sharing their stuff, they have a serious problem. Something serious is wrong with them. Their spiritual maturity immediately becomes *questionable.* I know through experience that the more spiritual one becomes, the more they're able to let go of *Self*—to become selfless. They literally derive joy from being selfless. Did anyone's spiritual transformation and growth *exclude generosity?* That is not true spiritual transformation. They owe us some explanations on who transformed them. I'd say that, some Christians know for sure that they're being hindered in certain areas of their lives, due to *selfishness.*
