Introduction
We have looked at some characteristics of giving taught in the NT:
Giving should be of free volition—we should not be coerced to give by authorities at our local church.
Giving should be done cheerfully as we recognize the spiritual blessings God pours out on those who give, since “God loves a cheerful giver.”
Giving should be applied toward genuine community needs, specifically in support of local ministers and the poor.
Finally, giving should be generous, even sacrificial.
The beauty of this mode of giving is that it frees Christians to generously serve others out of thankfulness to God for His provision.
The challenge, however, is how exactly to define “generous.”
Giving generously is to give in such a way that God is glorified
God is glorified when we recognize His soverignty
God is glorified when are grateful for His provision
God is glorified when we are joyful in our opportunity to serve Him
Our giving must be commensurate with our means
