Why God Asks Us To Give

Why God Asks Us To Give...

What I'm about to share would be the most important lesson that God has taught me which is why does he call us to give in the first place? I would offer three main reasons.

One is because he himself is ultimately generous, and we may better understand his character by reflecting that generosity back.

Second is because we grow in sanctification as we emulate the character of Jesus.

Third is, God's design for the world is that we actually get to participate alongside him in bringing forth his kingdom here on earth.

That's the answer to why God calls us to give. And when I'm able to give through that mindset, I experience Him more deeply. If I'm giving with any other mindset, I don't worship Him in joy, and I miss the mark.

This is from our great conversation with Greg Baumer (co-author of True Riches: What Jesus Really Said About Money and Your Heart).
