Giving

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

- Matthew 6:21

Why we give.

Why do Christians give?
  1. We give because we love God and want to demonstrate it in a tangible way.
  2. We give because Christ commanded it.  Matthew 6:2 records that Jesus told his disciples, “When you give…”  Not “If you give…”
  3. We give because it honors God and is a form of worship.  Matthew 6:3-4 tells us that our Father in Heaven sees our charity and rewards it.
  4. We give because we recognize that everything we have belongs to God.  He has allowed us to be stewards of these things, but He retains ownership.
  5. We give because God blesses the uses of our tithes and offerings, and He applies them for His purposes and glory.
  6. We give because we have compassion for the physical and spiritual well-being of others.
How does God tell us to give?
  • Freely, not grudgingly or because we are compelled
  • Cheerfully, because we love our Lord and know He will use our gifts for good
  • Privately, without seeking credit or fanfare
  • Generously, in proportion to how the Lord has blessed us
  • Purely, with motives based in love and compassion and grace
