Faith & Finance with Rob West
One of the clearest signs that God has changed a person’s heart is generosity. Scripture makes it plain: giving isn’t merely an act—it’s a reflection of God’s own character. As believers, we give not because we have to, but because God has given richly to us. Today, we explore what the Bible says about generosity and highlight timeless wisdom from Christian voices throughout history. Their words still inspire us today to give joyfully, sacrificially, and with hearts shaped by the gospel.

The Bible paints a sweeping picture of generosity—one that reaches far beyond financial giving.
Generosity Begins with CompassionJesus taught, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” Generosity starts with seeing the needs right in front of us and responding with compassion, humility, and love.Giving Flows from the HeartThe apostle Paul reminds us that our gifts should reflect the posture of our hearts: “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”Generosity isn’t measured by the amount of money given, but by the joy, gratitude, and trust behind it.
