Verses In The Bible About Giving
There are many things in the Bible that we can learn from. One of them is giving. Giving can be a very spiritual act, as it shows how much you care about others and their well-being. It’s important to give your resources to other people so that they may also receive blessings from God and be able to help others as well!
Here are some verses from the Bible about giving:
Malachi 3:10
- Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
- “Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”
- “For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid…Jesus Christ.”
- In love there is no fear; perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid we are not yet ready for love.
Proverbs 11:24-25
Proverbs 11:24-25:
A generous person will prosper; one who refreshes others will be refreshed. Those who are generous will be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.
Matthew 6:2
Giving is a sign of strength and love. It’s an act of gratitude, faithfulness and sacrifice. Giving is an act of generosity, trust and hope. Giving shows that you care about others’ needs and wants as much as your own. If you have plenty to give away, then do so freely! If not, even just a little can go a long way towards helping those in need or distress—and if God gives unto you much more than that which you gave away this month (Luke 6:38), it will be for your good too!
Luke 6:38
Luke 6:38 states, “Give and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
- Give and it will be given to you: The most common interpretation of this passage is that if you give of yourself—your time, talent or treasure (material resources such as money)—you will receive in return.
- Give and it will be given to you more: Another interpretation of this verse is that the more we give away something of value (money), the more value there is in our lives.
- Give and it will be given to you in abundance: This passages states that if we give generously without thought for ourselves or others standing by our side as we give our time or resources away freely without expectation or conditionality then we shall see our own lives grow richer still with no return necessary on our part but rather simply because virtue begets virtue when practiced consistently over time leads us all towards a better place where everyone receives their due share regardless of whether they deserve it or not
2 Corinthians 8-9
2 Corinthians, chapters 8 and 9, are two of the most beautiful passages in Scripture on giving. They teach us that giving is a sign of strength, love and life. Giving to others is what makes us human; it’s part of God’s plan for his people.
Giving is also a sign of your faith in God. When you trust him and give to others out of gratitude for all he has done for you, then you know that he will provide for everything else as well—and he does!
But perhaps most importantly, giving is a way to share with others what God has given you so that they too can experience his goodness and love firsthand. Sharing with others means loving them unconditionally; it means recognizing their needs just as Christ did when he came into this world sharing his life with us so freely (John 3:16).
2 Samuel 12:22,24
Verses in the Bible about giving:
2 Samuel 12:22,24 (NIV)
22 “I am the LORD, who has brought you up out of the land of Egypt and freed you from the house of slavery. 23 But I will punish you for your sins, because you have burned incense to other gods and aroused my anger by offering sacrifices to them.” 24 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.”
Psalm 41:1
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
For it is he who gives you strength to stand firm against the wiles of men.
For it is he who will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.
For it is he who will give you victory over those who hate you, so that you may cause them to turn and run away from you when they hear about this.
1 John 3:17-18
1 John 3:17-18
But whoever has this world’s means for supporting life, and sees his brother suffering need and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and truth.
Giving is a sign of strength and love.
Giving is a sign of strength and love.
It’s the strength to relinquish something that you’ve worked hard for, but no longer need. It’s the love for another person that makes you want to give them what they need more than what you want. Giving is also a sign of faith—that we trust God’s plan for our lives and how He provides for us. It also shows hope in knowing that there will be more where this came from when we need it most. Finally, giving is generous—not only with money but time as well* as well!
Giving is a sign of strength and love, and these verses can help you understand what it means to give. Giving also shows us that our own needs aren’t as important as others’ needs. If you’ve ever wondered why we should give, or what God expects us to do with our money, these Bible verses will help answer those questions.
