If You Don’t Give Money to the Church, Won’t You Receive God’s Blessing? If You Don’t Give Money to the Church, Won’t You Receive God’s Blessing? The Bible gives 3 answers that may surprise you! If someone tells you, “The more you give, the more God will bless you,” be careful. You must go back to the Bible and see clearly. Giving is a good thing, but you cannot use money to buy God’s grace. Save this video and share it with those who are struggling with giving money. First, blessings are not a money transaction. Let’s look at Ruth’s story. The Bible records Ruth’s words: “Your people shall be my people, and your God my God:” (Ruth 1:16) After Ruth lost her husband, she still chose to faithfully stay with Naomi and turn to the God of Israel. Later, she married Boaz and became an ancestor of David. The Bible never says that the grace she received was because of how much money she gave. She received grace because she turned to God and was faithful. Second, giving is not only about the amount. Now look at the story of the poor widow who gave two small coins. The Lord Jesus said: “Truly I say to you, That this poor widow has cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.” (Mark 12:43-44) So, what God values has never been the amount of the offering. He looks at a person’s heart. Third, what is truly biblical giving? 2 Corinthians 9:7 says: “Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver.” Pay attention, it is not because of threats, not to exchange for blessings, and not because you are afraid that “if you do not give, disaster will come.” Christians can give generously to help the church and those in need, but do not turn giving into a price for buying grace. You can give a lot, or you may have limited ability for a while. What you really need to ask yourself is: Is your heart willing and honest? Are you willing to manage everything God has entrusted to me according to His will? If these words have lifted the burden from your heart, please leave “Amen” in the comments. - @asj358243wq
