Understanding Giving by God's Grace

For the new Christian, knowing how to give is essential. We are no longer living under the Law of Moses but under the grace of God; therefore, our perspective on this is important. Most of us have been taught in church to give under the law's requirements to do so; the result is giving under compulsion, not out of faith in grace. Law-based giving blocks the blessings that show up when we give because we want to; grace-based giving with the right motives unblocks those blessings and allows them to flow into our lives. Paul, the apostle of grace, strongly taught on financial giving from the heart. Giving out of gratitude and thankfulness for how God has blessed us enables Him to bless us with even more increase. When we learn to give the way the apostle Paul taught, we will experience amazing results.
