The Importance of Giving to the Kingdom of God

Giving is one of the most powerful ways we demonstrate our love for God and our commitment to His Kingdom. It is not simply about money or material possessions; it is about worship, obedience, and trust. When we give, we invest in eternal work, souls being saved, lives being transformed, and the Gospel being advanced.


God Himself is the greatest giver. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son…” (John 3:16). Our generosity reflects His heart and becomes a testimony of His love. Giving is not loss; it is sowing. And when we sow into the Kingdom, we reap a harvest that is far greater than the seed we plant.


The Apostle Paul reminds us, “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). A cheerful giver is one who gives with joy, gratitude, and faith. And God promises to bless such a giver, not only with provision, but with peace, spiritual fruit, and overflowing grace.


Jesus Himself declared, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). That blessing is not just material; it is the joy of knowing we are part of God’s work, the peace of walking in obedience, and the satisfaction of seeing others uplifted by our generosity.


Here are 10 Scriptures on the Blessing of Giving:


  1. Acts 20:35 – “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”


  1. Luke 6:38 – “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over…”


  1. 2 Corinthians 9:7 – “God loveth a cheerful giver.”


  1. Proverbs 11:25 – “The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.”


  1. Malachi 3:10 – “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse… and prove me now herewith… if I will not open you the windows of heaven.”


  1. Matthew 6:21 – “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”


  1. Proverbs 3:9–10 – “Honour the LORD with thy substance… so shall thy barns be filled with plenty.”


  1. Hebrews 13:16 – “But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”


  1. Galatians 6:9–10 – “Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”


  1. Psalm 112:5 – “A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.”


In Sunday Bible School there was a section that was called, "Things To Remember And Resolve To Do," let's apply that principle to this section:


Giving is not just a moment, it is a lifestyle. As you reflect on these scriptures, ask yourself:


How can I give more intentionally to the Kingdom of God?


What resources, talents, or time can I sow into the lives of others?


Am I giving cheerfully, with gratitude and faith, trusting God to multiply my seed?


This week, set a personal generosity goal: whether it’s supporting a ministry, encouraging someone in need, or offering your time to serve. Write it down, pray over it, and act on it. Remember, every gift, no matter the size, becomes a seed that God can multiply for His glory.


Remember, giving is a privilege, a blessing, and a pathway to joy. When we give cheerfully, we not only bless others, we open the door for God’s favor to overflow in our lives.
