Luke 6:38 – Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
The importance of Giving
Giving to the church is a vital expression of our faith, reflecting our gratitude for God’s abundant blessings and our trust in His provision. Throughout Scripture, God calls us to give generously, recognizing that all we have belongs to Him. Jesus Himself taught the importance of giving, emphasizing that our hearts are closely connected to our treasure. In Matthew 6:21, Jesus said, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Giving to the church is an opportunity to align our hearts with God’s priorities and demonstrate that He is the true Lord of our lives, not money or possessions.
Jesus also spoke about the joy and rewards of giving with a sincere and generous heart. In Luke 6:38, He said, “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” This promise reminds us that our generosity reflects God’s generosity toward us. When we give, we participate in God’s economy of blessing, not just in material ways, but spiritually as well. Our acts of giving bring us closer to God, as we trust Him more fully and invest in His kingdom.
More on Giving
In 2 Corinthians 9:7, the Apostle Paul echoes Jesus’ teaching, saying, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Giving to the church is not about the amount, but about the attitude of our hearts. As we give, we reflect Christ’s love and generosity, participating in His mission to bring the gospel to the world and build up the body of Christ
