Here are a few scriptures to remind us of the importance of giving.
2 Corinthians 9:7:
- “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.”
Luke 6:38:
- “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
Acts 20:35:
- “I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.'”
Proverbs 22:9:
- “He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor.”
1 Timothy 6:17-19:
- “Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.”
