Why Is It Important to Give in Proportion to My Income?
There are lots of reasons, actually. Here are six:
1. God recommends it. He called the people of Israel to give a percentage of their goods as an offering.
2. It keeps our offerings in relationship with how God provides for us.
3. Proportional giving allows for “equal sacrifice, not equal gifts” among people of different means.
4. Most often, proportional giving will result in giving away more of our money, which actually serves to lessen the power of money in our lives.
5. God has promised to “give us our daily bread,” so we can give proportionally without fear of hardship.
6. II Corinthians 9:8. Read it. It’s a great promise!
