Episode 62 - Giving is...faith

  Back To Series

Giving is an attribute of the Triune God, thus, it is an attribute of Christian behavior, and faith is a necessary foundation to be a Christian. We give because we believe:

  • In God, the Father, who is the Creator of everything, including ourselves. All that we  have is His.
  • In Jesus Christ, who is the Savior and gave His life as a sacrifice for us to have the opportunity of salvation, and have an example of how to give. 
    In the Holy Spirit, who is our Helper and Adviser. He shows and teaches us about Jesus, about our salvation, and about the kingdom of God. He inspires us to help and give to others.
  • In the apostolate of Jesus Christ and their mission to teach and baptize all souls in His name. Therefore, we believe in the church of Christ, the assembly of believers – from all times – that love Christ and desire to live like Him. We give because we believe in this mission that Jesus gave the Church. 
  • In the future that Jesus has promised us – to share His glory with us if we remain faithful. We are secure with Him, knowing that what we give in this temporal life originated from God. By His grace He will give me eternal life and infinitely more. 

If we truly believe in the Triune God, we trust in His work and ways. As we grow in our love of God, we want to be with Him, and to be with Him, we have to be like Him. Thus, as giving is an attribute of God, in faith to Him, we want to do the same. 

“Giving is faith because it is out of our confidence in God and our devotion to Jesus that we obediently share what we have in full knowledge that our God will always care for us”. (“Giving is faith” article, Spring 2018 Vision.)
