Giving, Regardless of Recognition

 

Giving, Regardless of Recognition

Mt 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

I. Do not give to be seen

A. Do not give for men to see

B. Do not give for your own gratitude

C. Do not give so God can see

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Simply give, and God will see

II. Give from your heart

Giving should be such a part of our nature that we do it without thinking about it

A. Give for the need

1. People have physical needs

2. People have spiritual needs

Through helping their spiritual needs, they will see the life of Christ in us

B. Give out of love

1. For man

2. For God

Do not count over what has been given, rather go on to give more. —Spurgeon
