- Full participation
- Matt. 6:2 (NAS) “So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.”
- Matt. 6:21 (NAS) For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
- Proportion
- Matt. 23:23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.”
- Consistency
- Lam. 3:22-23 22The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. 23They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
- Anonymity
- Matt. 6:2-3 2“So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 3But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.”
- Encouragement
- Matt. 6:4 (NAS) So that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
- Conclusion
