The Bible teaches that giving is an act of love, gratitude, and obedience to God. We give because God first gave to us — His love, His blessings, and ultimately His Son, Jesus Christ. Scripture encourages believers to give willingly, cheerfully, and generously, not by force but from the heart. Giving supports God’s work, helps those in need, and brings blessings to the giver. It is a sign of faith, trust, and spiritual maturity.

2 Corinthians 9:7 (KJV)

“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”
