Henry argues that generosity is a core tenet of Christianity, woven throughout scripture and exemplified by God's own giving. He states that giving should be viewed as an investment with multiplied returns and emphasizes three principles stemming from the law of sowing and reaping: to have a harvest, you must plant seed; you harvest sometime after you plant the seed, requiring patience and trust; and the more seeds you plant, the more you harvest. Henry cautions against "give to get" mentality, explaining God blesses generosity so that we can increase our standard of generosity, not our standard of living. Drawing on personal anecdotes and the stories of others, Henry urges listeners to assess what their "obituary" will reflect in terms of earthly versus heavenly investments and ultimately asks if they trust God enough to align their lives with His principles of generosity, believing that all they have belongs to God, that He provides all they need, and that He will multiply what they give.
