Our responsibility to give is a response to God’s generosity.
It’s an expression of joy and gratitude for the bounty of God’s goodness.
Abundant blessings imply weighty responsibilities; …“For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the moreâ€
(Luke 12:48).
Our possessions are to be used not merely for our enjoyment but more importantly to Glorify God. “Freely ye have received, freely give†(Matthew 10:8).
“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giverâ€
(II Corinthians 9:7).
