Biblical Perspective on Stewardship

Good Stewardship

Christ followers realize that they have been bought with the price of Christ’s blood, and that everything they are and have belongs to Him. In light of this, they desire to be responsible caretakers of the material resources that God has entrusted to them. They recognize the tithe (10% of one’s earnings) as the historic standard of giving in Scripture. But moreover, in response to Christ’s abundant giving, they increasingly submit their resources to His Lordship and display a spirit of generosity and cheerfulness in supporting the work of the church.

Biblical Perspective

God is the owner and we are the managers. He has entrusted His church with the work of redemption, and has ordained the resourcing of that work through the obedience of maturing followers of Christ, who give…

• Generously…They know Christ has given all to them, and they know Christ owns all they have anyway.
• Proportionally…They try to give as high a percentage of their income as possible, recognizing the tithe (10%) as a long-established benchmark which may well be exceeded as they prosper.
• Regularly…As resources flow in, they offer the “first-fruits�? back to God, honoring Him before any others.
• Locally…Knowing that they claim this church as their spiritual home, they support the ministries from which they derive benefit.
• Liberally…As they are able, they go beyond giving to their own church and contribute to the cause of Christ globally.
• Cheerfully…Knowing that God sees the heart, they don’t just give begrudgingly to an organization—they give their offering as unto God Himself; they do so willingly, and not under compulsion, but with joyful worship as their resources flow out to serve others.
• Anonymously…They don’t call attention to themselves when they give or expect their offering to produce an advantage in the church.
• Expectantly…Counting on God’s promise of provision, they anticipate seeing God use their gift and know He’ll work in their own life—including financially—as they give.
