Grow in Generosity

What is your next step when it comes to giving?


If you aren't currently giving, your next step may be to start giving some portion of your income. If you currently fall short of giving a full tithe (10%), your next step may be to start tithing. Perhaps you are already tithing; your next step may be to imitate Jesus by becoming an extravagant giver, releasing resources sacrificially as God leads.


Giving as Worship


At its heart, giving isn't fundraising; it's worship. Everything we have already belongs to God. He invites us to participate by stirring our hearts to release his resources for his work.


The standard for giving under the Old Testament law was the tithe. Each person was expected to give the first 10% of his income, as well as his livestock and crops (Leviticus 27:30-33; Malachi 3:8). People were obligated to tithe under the law of Moses. This changed because Jesus satisfied all of the requirements of the law through His sacrifice (Matthew 5:17). While we're no longer under obligation to the Mosaic tithe, the New Testament calls us to something potentially more demanding, giving that flows from transformed hearts and reflects the generosity of Christ himself.


How Should We Give?


Several verses in the New Testament suggest guidelines for our giving. We should give regularly (1 Corinthians 16:2), privately (Matthew 6:3-4), proportionately (2 Corinthians 8:11-13), generously (2 Corinthians 9:6), and cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:7-8).


We don't want anyone to give out of guilt or obligation. We want people to give out of worship, not pressure, in response to the God who gives us everything (Philippians 4:19).


Why Does Our Attitude Matter?


Our attitude in giving is just as important as the amount we give. Generosity isn't measured by a dollar amount but by a surrendered heart (Luke 21:1-4). Through our giving we demonstrate our dependence on and trust in the Lord. We express our reliance on Him to meet our needs, instead of trusting ourselves or our earnings.


As we grow in spiritual maturity, God cultivates hearts of surrender in every area of our lives (2 Corinthians 8:3-5). Giving generously is the natural outworking of following Jesus.
