I recently wrote a post that talks about Giving Quotations in The Bible in depth. There was a lot of feedback on the topic which led me to create an e-book that looks deeper into the subject. In this post, I am giving out a free sample chapter of the book which is called Voices in the Bible along with some further information on the subject. If you’d like to learn more about these important tools of Bible exegesis, please visit My Blog.

“Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38)

“Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor.” (Romans 12:9-10)

Giving Quotations In The Bible

Giving with a generous and cheerful heart is not only something God commands, but it is beneficial and profitable. Proverbs says it twice! It’s clearly important to give, but why? What do you get out of it? Is there a benefit to giving generously?

Proverbs 11:25 The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.

Giving is a powerful tool in the Christian life. It is one of the most important ways we can demonstrate our love for God and those around us. When we give, it is like watering a garden or forest: The more we give, the more we will be given back to us (Proverbs 11:25).

The Bible tells us to “be generous, open wide your hearts and wallets!” (2 Corinthians 9:7). This verse clearly demonstrates that when you give generously, your heart will also be open and ready to receive freely from God. If you want more of God’s bounty then let go of what little you have so that He may provide abundantly in return.

Give liberally because Jesus was generous even unto death on the cross!

Proverbs 22:9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed, For he gives of his bread to the poor.

Proverbs 22:9 states, “He who has a generous eye will be blessed, For he gives of his bread to the poor.”

This verse demonstrates that if you are willing to give with an open hand, God will bless you and make your life better.

When giving to others we should always remember that giving should be done in love and not for selfish reasons (2 Corinthians 9:7).

Proverbs 28:27 Whoever gives to the poor will not lack, But he who hides his eyes will have many curses.

In this verse, it says that giving to the poor will not cause you to lack. This means that when you give your money to someone who needs it more than you do, you will have more money than before. It also says that if you don’t give your money away, “you will have many curses.” This means that if you keep all of the money for yourself and don’t share it with anyone else, then God will curse your life by making everything harder for you than it should be. Finally, it ends with an encouragement: “Therefore I say: He who gives sparingly will also be blessed.”

” In other words, the more generous we are with our possessions and resources—and particularly those things for which we feel most passionate—the better off we’ll be spiritually too!

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

In this verse there are three things to notice:

Do not be deceived by the riches of this world. This means that people should not allow the riches of this world to trick them into thinking they are important or that they can do anything with them. The truth is that anyone who has been given these things by God should be aware of their purpose and use them wisely as long as it does not take away from what matters most in life—serving God and loving others!
Do not be deceived by the things of this world. In other words, don’t let yourself get caught up in materialistic pursuits like money or possessions because you’ll end up losing sight of what really matters: serving others with your talents and abilities (Ephesians 4:29). It’s easy for us to get caught up in seeking after material wealth instead of serving others because we’re afraid we won’t have enough money if we don’t work hard enough at getting raises or promotions at work; however, Jesus tells us quite clearly here—if you sow seeds into good deeds then those seeds will grow back into more good deeds but if you sow them instead into selfishness then those seeds will only produce more selfishness!

2 Corinthians 9:6-8 6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

God loves a cheerful giver.
God is able to make all grace abound toward you.
You will always have all sufficiency in all things, so you can give more than you need to, without having to worry about your own needs.
You will have an abundance for every good work when you give generously and cheerfully!

Giving is beneficial and profitable to you

Giving to the poor is profitable. In fact, it’s the right thing to do! There are several passages in scripture that show us how giving can be beneficial and rewarding to you.

Proverbs 11:24 states quite clearly, “There is one who scatters, yet increases all the more; and there is one who withholds what is justly due, but it results only in want.” A generous person will have plenty more to give than a miserly one—and that’s because they’re not so concerned with their own benefit as much as they are interested in helping others.
In Matthew 19:21-22 Jesus tells us about a rich young man coming up to him and asking what he must do to attain eternal life. When Jesus tells him that he must sell all his possessions and give them away for others’ benefit (Luke 18:22), this man goes away sorrowful because he cannot do this (Mark 10:17-25). Here we see clearly why giving leads people toward happiness while selfishness leads them away from it!

Conclusion

We should therefore take the time to study what God’s word has to say about giving. We can learn that giving is profitable for us and that if we desire to live a prosperous life, we should give generously. Remember, it’s not about how much money you have, it’s about how generous you are with what you have.
