5 Biblical reasons why we should give
People have different reasons for giving. Here are five that come from the Bible! God gives us good reasons to give to others. Let’s look at them closely.
#1 To please God
Hebrews 13:16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
Giving selflessly pleases God!
#2 It brings blessing
Psalm 112:5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.
God blesses the generous.
#3 It’s a command
Romans 12:13 When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.
God wants us to give to the needy.
#4 To curb greed
Proverbs 21:26 Some people are always greedy for more, but the godly love to give.
Genuine giving is out of love.
#5 We are giving to Christ
Matthew 25:37, 40 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
How we treat the needy is how we treat Jesus.
Everyone has their reasons for doing good.
