Bible Question:
as a christian, what are the bebefit of giving? and what did the bible say about giving? |
Bible Answer: Nkeiruka - Oh, I hope you're not talking about "seed faith" and all that other junk that goes with the 'name it and claim it' heresies that are so rampant today, especially on the TV tube! The Christian's motive should be centered on pleasing God, not on reaping personal benefit. What a shallow and empty faith it is that prompts one to do things out of selfish desire to please oneself instead out of a deep and abiding love for Him whose grace is boundless, whose love is beyond man's comprehension. From this well-spring of gratitude should flow our praise, our adoration, our obedience. We give, therefore, cheerfully and obediently to Him who commands us to do so: "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly, or of necessity [compulsion], for God loveth a cheerful giver" (2 Cor. 9:7). --Hank |
