Title: God Commands Our Giving


1
God Commands Our Giving
Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you
say, "How have we robbed you?" In your tithes and
contributions. You are cursed with a curse, for
you are robbing me, the whole nation of you.
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that
there may be food in my house.
Malachi 38-10
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you
have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to
God. Hebrews 136
Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to
show hospitality.
Romans 1213

God Rewards Our Giving
Blessed is the one who considers the poor. In
the day of trouble the Lord delivers him the
Lord protects him and keeps him alive he is
called blessed in the land you do not give him
up to the will of his enemies. The Lord sustains
him on his sickbed in his illness you restore
him to full health. Psalm 411-2
One gives freely, yet grows all the richer
another withholds what he should give, and only
suffers want. Proverbs 1124
Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the
firstfruits of all your produce then your barns
will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be
bursting with wine. Proverbs
39-10

God Rewards Our Giving
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure,
pressed down, shaken together, running over, will
be put into your lap. For with the measure you
use it will be measured back to you.
Luke 637
The point is this whoever sows sparingly will
also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully
will also reap bountifully. Each one must give
as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly
or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful
giver. 2 Corinthians 69-7

We Will Give Cheerfully When
  • We are freed from our own greed and lusts.
  • We trust God, and not our money, to take care of
    our needs and wants.
  • We trust God to reward us as He has promised.
  • We get a taste of the joy (i.e. fun!) that comes
    from giving.
  • We remember that our greatest, everlasting
    wealth is yet to come.

Godliness that overcomes the craving for material
wealth produces great spiritual wealth John
Piper, Desiring God

Christians and Money
What you do with money or desire to do with
it can make or break your happiness forever.
What you feel about money can destroy you or
what you do with your money can secure the
foundation of eternal life.
John Piper, Desiring God
