To live generously is the expression of
God's very nature. When we live generously, we show the world that God cares for them and we do too!
The local church is the hope for the world. God's generosity is shown in the gift of His Son, Jesus.
Giving is a part of our worship.
It’s an expression of our love and devotion to God. It is an example of His
generosity. Giving has little to do with what a person has; it’s more about a person’s
attitude when one gives. Giving is more than money; it is about the desires of our
hearts and our motives. When we put God first and
tithe, we are recognizing divine ownership. (Psalm 24:1)
We are
encouraged in Proverbs 3:9 to, “Honor the Lord with your
possessions (wealth) and from the first of all your produce
(first fruits of all your increase.)
As we grow
in our love for God, our tendency becomes to view others
from His eternal perspective.
