God is King and the Giver of all good things. God’s very character is one of immeasurable generosity, demonstrated by the giving of His Son for our salvation and abundant life. When we follow His generosity through our giving we reflect His character, which brings Him great pleasure. A natural result of generosity is that it acts as an antidote to envy and covetousness while fueling the good works and good deeds of the people of God in our city. In the end, our regular, generous, cheerful giving is a pure act of worship, an acknowledgement that God is King and we are His people.
