Why Be Generous?
Generosity. Liberality. Openhandedness. Munificence. These words should characterize the Christian who realizes the abundance that God has given us, especially in the affluent Western world. Because we have so much, we can choose both to simplify and to be generous.
And yet, when the topic of money arises, the questions Iâm asked include âShould I tithe (give 10 percent) before or after taxes?â âDo I need to give money away from the profits on my investments, or can I limit it to just my salary?â âCan I include donations to nonprofit organizations that are not uniquely Christian to bring me up to 10 percent?â âShould I ever give a gift of money if itâs not tax deductible?â
While these questions have some legitimacy, those who ask them have missed the biblical point of generosity. God calls us to be generous, and through generosity, we grow. If we spend our energy trying to figure out how to give the bare minimum and still be obedient Christians, we miss the freedom that accompanies generosity.
