Christians who give generously make a far greater impact than they realize—God uses their giving to strengthen their churches and advance the reputation of gospel near and far.

We ought to be motivated to give cheerfully because of the bold promises God makes to generous Christians, especially his revelation that he takes special joy in joyful generosity.

We should pursue a Christian maturity marked by a Christlike, dependable, and increasing generosity.

The giving God calls us to is generous but discerning, and it requires us to handle what has been entrusted to us with great care and integrity.

We should give willingly and proportionately, trusting God to accomplish good through our gifts and to provide for us in the process.

We must choose to practice biblical generosity, motivated by Christ’s gracious example rather than mere agreement with its principles.

Godly generosity is grounded in what God has done for us and begins when our hearts are gripped by it.

We ought to be attentive to the work of sanctification taking place around us, and intentionally affirm, celebrate, and be encouraged by the growth in holiness we see.
