We give in response to the grace and generosity of God. Our giving is not a legalistic compulsion, but rather a cheerful offering of whatever amount God has placed on our hearts by His grace (2 Corinthians 9:7). This “grace-giving” is generous, willing, God-directed, sacrificial, active, and motivated by love (2 Corinthians 8:2-8). We consider giving an act of worship to the Lord, which is why we make space every Sunday for a public offering.
