FAITHFULNESS AND GENEROSITY IN GIVING TO

GOD

Imagine if you were given the option of choosing between having a spouse who is Very
Faithful, yet VERY UNLOVING. Against having a spouse who is Very Loving, yet
VERY UNFAITHFUL. Which of would you CHOOSE or say was BETTER?
To understand this parable, let us note that:
(a) Returning Tithes is God’s test of our FAITHFULNESS to Him (Mal. 3:10);
(b) Giving Offerings is God’s test of THE DEPTH OF OUR LOVE for Him (Ps. 96:8).

Here are some four scenarios of how we relate to our God with our finances.

A. Unfaithful and Unloving   LOVING unLOVING

Here, the individual neither RETURNS A
FAITHFUL TITHE nor GIVES A
GENEROUS OFFERING. FAITHFUL    

unFAITHFUL    

B. Unfaithful and Loving   LOVING unLOVING

Here, the individual GIVES A GENEROUS
OFFERING but is not able to RETURN A
FAITHFUL TITHE. FAITHFUL    

unFAITHFUL    

C. Faithful and Unloving

  LOVING unLOVING
Here, the individual RETURNS A
FAITHFUL TITHE but hardly GIVES A
GENEROUS OFFERING. FAITHFUL    

unFAITHFUL    

D. Faithful and Loving

Here, the individual RETURNS A
 FAITHFUL TITHE and also GIVES A
GENEROUS OFFERING.   LOVING unLOVING

FAITHFUL    

unFAITHFUL    

Thought Question:
Does God’s love to me make me Faithful or Generous to His cause? Or BOTH?
