Bible Verses on Giving
Let
each one do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly
or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver. And
God is able to make all grace abound to you. That always having
all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for
every good deed: as it is written, "He scattered abroad,
He gave to the poor, His righteousness abides forever." (2
Cor. 9:7-9)
But
if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for
those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse
than an unbeliever. (1 Tim. 5:8)

Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise
to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His
name. And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such
sacrifices God is pleased. (Heb. 13:15-16)

week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper,
so that no collections be made when I come. When I arrive,
whomever you may approve, I will send them with letters to
carry your gift to Jerusalem. (1 Cor. 16:1-3)
"I
will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever
you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever
you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." Then
He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He
was the Christ. (Matt. 16:19-20)
"In
everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner
you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus,
that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" (Acts
20:35) |
