Faith Gives
By
Using Our Time, Talents, & Treasures We Fuel
Our Faith to Grow
As
Christians we confess that all that we have has
been given to us from the giving hand of God. He
has given us all things. In the Large Catechism,
Luther speaks of the first commandment,
“the meaning of this commandment, namely,
that we are to trust in God alone, and look to
Him and expect from Him naught but good, as from
one who gives us body, life, food, drink,
nourishment, health, protection, peace, and all
necessaries of both temporal and eternal things.
He also preserves us from misfortune, and if any
evil befall us, delivers and rescues us, so that
it is God alone from whom we receive all good,
and by whom we are delivered from all evil. God
is an eternal fountain which gushes forth
abundantly nothing but what is good, and from
which flows forth all that is and is called
good.”
Since the Lord has our best interest at heart and
gives us all good, we are free then to give
generously to our Lord’s church. We are
asked by God to give of our abundance. While the
amount will be different for each of us, we all
sacrifice for the sake of the Gospel so that
Christ’s church will thrive and be a place
where the gifts of God are joyfully given and
received.
