Giving To God is a fundamental principle of Christianity. It’s an act of faith, acknowledging that everything we have belongs to God. When we give to God, we honor Him, support His work, and sow seeds for future blessings.
1: GIVE YOUR TIME (Psalms 90:12)
Start with dedicating your time to God. Prayer, Bible reading, volunteering, or supporting a Christian ministry can all be time given to God (Psalms 90:12).
2: GIVE YOUR TALENTS (1 Peter 4:10)
Use your unique talents and skills for God’s glory (1 Peter 4:10). Find opportunities within your church, community, or personal relationships to use your talents to help others.
3: GIVE YOUR TREASURE (Malachi 3:10)
The Bible encourages us to give monetarily as well. Tithes and offerings support God’s kingdom work (Malachi 3:10). Whether large or small, each gift has its place in God’s service. When we give to God our treasure, it will surely be replenished.
4: GIVE YOUR TESTIMONY (1 Peter 3:15)
Share your personal story of salvation. This inspires others and can guide them to God (1 Peter 3:15).
5: GIVE YOUR TONGUE (Proverbs 15:4)
Our words can also be an offering to God. Speak kindly, share God’s word, and spread love and peace to all (Proverbs 15:4).
6: GIVE YOUR TEMPLE (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
Your body is God’s temple. Live a healthy life – physically, mentally, and spiritually – to honor God (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
7: GIVE YOUR TROUBLES (1 Peter 5:7)
Lay your anxieties and troubles at God’s feet. Trusting Him with your worries is another way to give (1 Peter 5:7).
