Study Book : ​Giving, Gimmick or Grace

Giving is an expression of worship that commemorates God's grace. Grace is all that God can do for man and still be consistent with His own character. We are saved by grace, we live by grace, and we give by grace.

Grace giving meets divine standards and glorifies God. Grace giving requires the filling of the Holy Spirit and reflects and reflects grace orientation,  Bible doctrine in the soul, and virtue love. Without these spiritual motivations, giving has no spiritual value. All to often Christian giving is coerced by guilt, emotionalism, or peer pressure. Two chapters in 2 Corinthians are the most extensive passages of scripture on the concept of giving. This book focuses on these chapters which presents aspects of God's grace, define correct motivation and mental attitude for giving, and illustrate grace giving in the early church.
