Why Should I Give When Our Culture Puts Great Importance on Getting.1. It is a means of greater personal blessing. Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." (Acts 20:35).
2. It is a way of godliness; I imitate God. I am never more like God than when I give, for God gave his One and Only Son that I might have life (John 3:16).
3. I master my money and possessions by exercising control over them as I give them away; rather than being mastered by them (Matthew 6:24).
4. I give joy to others in this discontented culture.
5. God commands me to give and therefore he enables me to do it (2 Corinthians 9:7-8).
6. My giving stimulates gratitude in a greedy culture.
7. My giving will bring glory to God (2 Corinthians 9:12-15).
