The Bible teaches that everything we have comes from God and belongs to Him. Psalm 24:1 says, “The LORD owns the earth and all it contains, the world and all who live in it.” Therefore, we are mere stewards of what God has given to us. Sacrificially giving back what God has so generously given to us, for the purposes of furthering His Kingdom, is the call and responsibility of every faithful follower of Jesus. Simultaneously, giving is an act of worship and should never be lowered to the standard of ritual or legalism.
