Matthew 6: 3-4
Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Why We Give
The Bible instructs us that discipleship requires generosity and giving, which is a way to show gratitude for God's unfailing and unmerited grace. The aim of stewardship is to promote discipleship, particularly in relation to ministry support, for we are called to be disciples of Jesus who are grounded, growing, and generous. What we possess is not ours; it was given to us by God and is already in his possession. By giving, we can maintain perspective in a world that encourages us to value our possessions and achievements above everything else. Giving generously is a way to emulate God's generosity, who relentlessly pursues us with his compassion, love, and grace. The amount we give is irrelevant, but Jesus promises that giving generously, regularly, and intentionally can bring us deep joy and satisfaction.
