3 Bible Tips: Why Choose the Way of Give?
1. Jesus Christ said it is more blessed to give.
"I [Paul] have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'" (Acts 20:35).
2. Christ promised benefits measured by how generous we are.
"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you" (Luke 6:38).
3. We should give to be like God, the Giver of every perfect gift.
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning" (James 1:17).
