TRUTHS ON CHRISTIAN GIVING

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: TRUTHS ON CHRISTIAN GIVING

1. THE LORD JESUS EXPECTS AND REQUIRES US TO GIVE.

Jesus said to His disciples, "when you give" not "if you give" (Matthew 6:2)! Hence, Christian giving is not optional, but rather essential. We often hear folks say: "in the Old Testament they had to give, but not in the New - now we only give if we want to." This is clearly not Jesus' teaching. He expected all His followers to be givers. Christians will give. Are you giving?

2. THE LORD JESUS WANTS US TO GIVE FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.
Jesus warned His disciples not to give for the sake of being admired by men. "Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them," He said (Matthew 6:1). When we give, we must be careful to examine our motives. We ought to give for the glory of God and the good of His people. We must desire His approval of our giving, rather than the praise and admiration of people. Are you giving for God's praise or man's?
