The Act of Giving

Giving is an expression of gratitude to God and an act of love towards others, reflecting God’s generous nature. The Bible teaches that believers should give cheerfully, not under compulsion, as a way to support the work of the Church meet the needs of others (2 Corinthians 9:7). Jesus emphasizes the importance of sacrificial giving in the story of the widow’s offering (Mark 12:41-44), showing that the heart behind the gift matters more than the amount. Giving is an opportunity to trust God with our resources, acknowledging that all we have comes from Him and is meant to be used for His glory and the benefit of others.
