When we give, we give to God

Giving is a privilege

They [the Macedonians] begged us to take the money so they could share in the joy of helping the Christians in Jerusalem.

2 Corinthians 8:8
I am not giving you an order; I am not saying you must do it, but others are eager for it. This is one way to prove that your love is real, that it goes beyond mere words.

Giving is an act of worship

Let’s not neglect what is good and share what we have, for these sacrifices also please God.

Honour the Lord by making him an offering from the best of all that your land produces.  If you do, your barns will be filled with grain, and you will have too much wine to store it all.
