 God is a sacrificial giver. When He gives us His grace, we are transformed and become more like Him. His gift of sacrificial giving prompts us to do the same, which itself is a gift of God’s grace. The money is never an issue. The issue is your heart. God doesn’t need your money. He wants your heart and to bless you with the grace of giving. This foundation leads us to how we approach our giving.
Building on this, God longs to show you that the tithe—our regular, planned, proportional, responsive act of worship—results in a great blessing: a heart that is deeply connected to His. Tithing is giving our heart to Him first after every increase. An offering is in addition to the tithe—above and beyond, out of the overflow of a heart that has already regularly given to Him. Our giving, whether tithe or offering, is always to be freely willing, never by commandment or compulsion. We see this in the life of Jesus, from whom we have learned how to sacrificially give. He gave Himself for us to show us the grace of giving. Comments are closed.
