Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. – Hebrews 13:16

The importance of giving:
(Acts 20:35)
Giving is an expression of showing our obedience, love , worship and faith. It's an act of joy and gratitude for the abundance of God's blessing.Giving not only benefits the receiver but it also stimulate to spread humanitarianism and kindness among people .Being compassionate and giving , can help amend lives and vitalize relationships.Giving cannot be measured.As quoted by Mother Teresa ,"It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving." Given, in any aspect - be it in your prayers , your time , finances, resources and so forth .God loves a cheerful giver as we find in 2 Corinthians 9:7 .Through giving , we exalt His name .
As Christians , we are to be a blessing to others.Even the smallest act of kindness can create wonders.
~Vevolü Shijoh
John 3:16a "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,..." we see that the love of God was expressed in action. With that, as Christians greatest responsibility is to love, it must be expressed in actions too. Agape love is not just limited to our families alone but to all our neighbors and enemies as well. We do our part in giving, God will do the rest, He will not forget the good that we have done. Hebrew 6:10a "For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name,..."
~Mhasi Zhale
Why should be give and care for the poor, needy, widows and orphans:
The Bible quotes "A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden" (Mathew 5:14). Our light should shine not only in words but in deeds and action. One such act that we can do is giving, taking care of the poor, needy orphans and widows following the principles of the Bible.
When we give, we are blessed not only spiritually or gain eternal rewards but we are blessed here in earth also. it gives us a sense of purpose, compassion and love when we learn to give and take care of the ones in need .
~ Ketho Medoze
Benefits of giving:
2 Corinthians 9:6-7
There is no more practical way to express God’s love for someone than giving to them in a time of need.When you give, you reveal God’s grace to others and they experience His love in action and thus strengthen their faith in God and produces thanksgiving. Most importantly giving releases one from the grip of greed and readjusts our perspective to think in terms of the eternal and frees us so that we may be able to consider others. Giving also endears you to your Creator and effects what you received, as the quantity that you sow will determine the quantity you reap and the promise is that
God will supply abundantly to you in order that you may invest in other good deeds. May men see your good works and glorify your Father in
heaven.
