Giving
What Does the Bible Say About Giving?
Giving is a vital part of spiritual growth. It requires two things of us:FAITH – Giving is an active expression of our faith. It recognizes God as the Owner of all things (Psalm 24:1) and our True Provider (James 1:17). It affirms our confidence in His ability to supply all we need. It is an act of gratitude and dependence. And, it allows us to partner with God and His work through our church and in the world.FAITHFULNESS – Giving requires the highest standard of personal integrity and discipline. It is not a casual or occasional thing. The Bible teaches we are to give willingly, generously, and cheerfully (2 Corinthians 8:3, 8:12, and 9:7). Through our tithes and offerings, we prove faithful in the stewardship of all God has provided for us.
