Everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to God, the creator and sustainer. Understanding this truth helps believers to see our possessions and wealth in a new light. Giving is not about obligation but about glorifying God through our generosity. Every believer will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to give an account of their lives. This judgment is not about sin, which was dealt with on the cross, but about the rewards for our deeds. Our giving and generosity will be part of this account.
