This was Jesus' attitude, his mind. It will instill a readiness and a joy in giving. The biblical approach to giving is in sharp contrast to that of the world. Some respond because of genuine concern and compassion when faced with need. Others give because of a sense of guilt, and still others give to impress.
Christians are to have different motives and a different approach.
They give because Christ gave everything and provided the only way that people may find forgiveness and purpose in life. The preaching of this good news and the demonstration of God's love in action are to be our top priorities.
