For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. [2 Corinthians 8:9]
Paul isn't encouraging the Corinthians to take the grace of God for granted. He's telling them to bless because they are first blessed.
We love not by our effort but because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). Hence, we bless not because we are good people but because God first blessed us. Jesus became your poverty that you may become His blessing to bless others!
Bless, because God first blessed you in Christ!
