Continuing our series on Bible Steps: Receiving God's Financial Promises and Peace, we've look at Dependence on God alone, Faithfully laboring, Saving a portion, and today we discuss the next step; Giving.
Giving is a vivid reminder that it is all about God, not about us.
He does not exist for us, we exist for Him.
The Purpose for Giving:
It is to further the cause of Christ through; Worshipping in giving (Acts 10:1-4), Supporting Missionaries who bring the Gospel here and abroad (2 Cor. 8 and 9), helping other Christians (2 Cor. 8:13-15), to show the love of Christ to the world (Acts 17:24-25).
One of the prominent obstacles to giving is sight: we see that if we give we will have less. That is not the way God works.
God's Word still teaches that God will provide when we give (Proverbs 3:9-10, Luke 6:38).

Giving, and tithing requires faith, which is by design. God is the Rewarder of faith. Try Him, trust Him, hold Him to His Word.
