RE: Giving Is God's Way Of Life | 5 Reasons Why We Should Give To Others In Need

in #steemchurch6 years ago

Thank you Apostle, it is indeed a privilege to give, the Bible says that there's more blessing to give than to receive.

According to the Bible, abundant blessings imply weighty responsibilities; "for everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more" (Luke 12:48). The message is clear: our possessions are to be used not merely for our own enjoyment but for the benefit of the world around you. "Freely you have received, freely give" (Matthew 10:8).

Of course, this doesn't mean that giving is to be approached as a grim, oppressive duty. "Let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Corinthians 9:7). Our responsibility to give is primarily a response to God's generosity. It's an expression of joy and gratitude for the bounty of God's goodness – like the gift of the woman who demonstrated her indebtedness to Jesus by anointing His feet with a jar of costly ointment. She loved much, Jesus said, because she had been forgiven much (Luke 7:47).
