Giving Our Best To God

Giving is a wonderful expression of one’s love to
others; a visible and outward manifestation of care.
Giving is a natural act and a sign of life. It is
obvious that God is the author of giving. He is the
greatest giver and provider of all our needs. God is
love and His love is so great and His giving is
immeasurable.
Through the Scriptures, God wants us to know the
importance and principles of giving that we may live
by them. The blessing of giving gives rejoicing in
the heart and thanksgiving unto the Lord. Giving in
sincerity and in truth glorifies our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ and a consistent mark of a spiritual
Christian.
Abraham and his way of giving is a great challenge
to every believer today. His giving was powered by
love and faith. His attitude in giving was a
remarkable display of his spiritual intelligence. He
gave his best during his crucial moment and his giving
became a classic example to be followed by those who
fear God.
We should be aware that indifference and
selfishness rob our joy of giving as unbelief blocks
our awaited blessings. God wants us to be blessed;
contrary to false belief that giving leads people to
deep poverty. By faith, we should then follow God’s
principles of giving and see great and wonderful
things from the Lord.
The great intensity of our love and faith in God
leads us to a wider understanding concerning giving
but fear of God maintains our good attitude in giving
our best to our Heavenly Father.

of our faith
(II) Test Of Spiritual Intelligence

-Be aware that we cannot
outgive God

The reason why we cannot outgive God is
simply because we are giving to Him the
things which actually belong to Him.
