On Giving to God - 1

. Give according to the blessing

Deuteronomy 16:17

Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you.

. Do not give  immoral money

Deuteronomy 23:18

You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute or of a male prostitute into the house of the Lord your God to pay any vow, because the Lord your God detests them both.

. Give cheerfully

2 Corinthians 9:7

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.

. It is pleasing to God

Philippians 4:18

I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus  the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant  offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

. Reconciling  first  giving next

Matthew 5:23-24

“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you,   leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.

. It results in thanksgiving to God

2 Corinthians 9:11

You will be enriched  in every way so that you can be generous  on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
