Why Give? A Generosity Blueprint
The starting point for understanding biblical generosity is that God owns everything, “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof” (Psalm 24:1). This perspective breeds not only radical generosity, but recognizes giving as an act of worship. David prayed at the dedication of the temple, “all that is in the heavens and the earth is yours . . . Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all . . . Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand” (1 Chronicles 29:11–12, 14). One implication of this truth is that we’re less like owners and more like money managers who have a fiduciary responsibility to the Owner to invest his resources wisely.
Giving is an act of worship because God owns everything.
Giving should be systematic and thoughtful.
Paul directed the Corinthians to set aside a portion of their wealth each week until he came and received it, in this case for the relief of famine victims in Palestine (See 2 Corinthians 8). Giving “spontaneously” might be a joyful response to God’s grace but often doesn’t end up being sacrificial. And from a budgetary standpoint, it is very helpful to have dependable revenue streams.
Giving should be a joyful response to God's grace.
Giving should be in significant proportions.
The Bible gives three guidelines:
The guideline of the tithe
The guideline of sacrifice
Paul celebrated the generosity of the Macedonians, who “gave as much as they were able and even beyond their ability” (2 Corinthians 8:3). They gave until it represented a sacrifice in their lifestyle.
The guideline of responsibility
