The more you give, the more comes back to you, because God is the greatest giver in the universe, and He won’t let you outgive Him. Go ahead and try. See what happens.

You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.

Love | Giving
In all of my years of service to my Lord, I have discovered a truth that has never failed and has never been compromised. That truth is that it is beyond the realm of possibilities that one has the ability to out give God. Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave.
– Charles Spurgeon

God gives us things to share; God doesn’t give us things to hold

When a man becomes a Christian, he becomes industrious, trustworthy and prosperous. Now, if that man when he gets all he can and saves all he can does not give all he can, I have more hope for Judas Iscariot than for that man!

The most obvious lesson in Christ’s teaching is that there is no happiness in having or getting anything, but only in giving.

I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.

A lack of generosity refuses to acknowledge that your assets are not really yours, but God’s.

In matters of equity between man and man, our Savior has taught us to put my neighbor in place of myself, and myself in place of my neighbor.

God doesn’t look at just what we give. He also looks at what we keep.

God has a way of giving by the cartloads to those who give away by shovelfuls.

Christian giving is to be marked by self-sacrifice and self-forgetfulness, not by self-congratulation.
– John Stott
Giving
In my opinion, the idea that we should postpone generous giving (to the church) until our debts are paid or until we get a raise or until the children are grown up or until we have bought a house is contrary to Scripture. We may be able to give more then, but we ought to give generously now.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.

Let’s not bless others just to receive a blessing in return from them.

God prospers me not to raise my standard of living, but to raise my standard of giving.

Prosperity | Giving
There is an inequitable distribution of both goods and opportunities in this world. Therefore, if you have been assigned the goods of this world by God and you don’t share them with others, it isn’t just stinginess, it is injustice.

Man should not consider his material possession his own, but as common to all, so as to share them without hesitation when others are in need.

The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious.

Giving is true having.

According to the Bible, the marriage act is more than a physical act. It is an act of sharing. It is an act of communion. It is an act of total self-giving wherein the husband gives himself completely to the wife, and the wife gives herself to the husband in such a way that the two actually become one flesh.
– Wayne Mack
Marriage | Giving
I will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the kingdom of Christ.

What is outside the system of self-giving is no earth, nor nature, nor ‘ordinary life’, but simply and solely Hell. Yet even Hell derives from this law such reality as it has.

If I leave behind me 10 (pounds), you and all mankind bear witness against that I lived and died a thief and a robber.

Those who give much without sacrifice are reckoned as having given little.

We want personal consecration. I have heard that word pronounced purse and all consecration, a most excellent pronunciation. He who loves Jesus consecrates to Him all that he has, and feels it a delight that he may lay anything at the feet of Him who laid down his life for us.

My take on tithing in America is that it’s a middle-class way of robbing God. Tithing to the church and spending the rest on your family is not a Christian goal. It’s a diversion. The real issue is: How shall we use God’s trust fund – namely, all we have – for His glory? In a world with so much misery, what lifestyle should we call our people to live? What example are we setting?
– John Piper
Giving
There never was a person who did anything worth doing, who did not receive more than he gave.

God has made no one absolute. The rich depend on the poor, as well as the poor on the rich. The world is but a magnificent building; all the stones are gradually cemented together. No one subsists by himself alone.

You and I must be perfectly willing to part with anything at any moment. It matters not whether I leave two thousand dollars or merely two. What matters is whether I can leave whatever I have without a twinge of regret.

Generosity is impossible apart from our love of God and of His people. But with such love, generosity not only is possible but inevitable.

Do not think me mad. It is not to make money that I believe a Christian should live. The noblest thing a man can do is, just humbly to receive, and then go amongst others and give.

There are many hearing me who now know well that they are not Christians because they do not love to give. To give largely and liberally, not grudging at all, requires a new heart.

Wherefore doth the Lord make your cup run over, but that other men’s lips might taste the liquor? The showers that fall upon the highest mountains should glide into the lowest valleys. “Give, and it shall be given you”, is a maxim little believed.

It is strongly recommended, in light of the great giving requirements imposed on God’s ancient people Israel, that everyone should at least consider the first 10 percent as a starting point in giving – a minimum.

Giving jump starts our relationship with God. It opens our fists so we can receive what God has for us.
– Randy Alcorn
Giving
Avarice, greed, concupiscence and so forth are all based on the mathematical truism that the more you get, the more you have. The remark of that it is more blessed to give than to receive is based on the human truth that the more you give away in love, the more you are. It is not just for the sake of other people that tells us to give rather than get, but for our own sakes too.
