Viewing our financial decisions through the lens of eternity transforms our understanding of giving. What we give away, we keep in God's kingdom, and what we hoard, we lose. This perspective invites us to live with open hands and hearts. [32:41]
An eternal perspective on giving transforms our understanding of wealth and possessions. Jesus teaches that what we give away, we keep in God's kingdom, and what we hoard, we lose. This perspective invites us to live with open hands and hearts, recognizing that true wealth is found in the treasures we store in heaven through acts of generosity.
By viewing our financial decisions through the lens of eternity, we are challenged to prioritize eternal values over temporary gains. This perspective encourages us to invest in God's kingdom by being generous to those in need, trusting that God will provide for our needs. As we align our lives with His eternal purposes, we find true satisfaction and joy in giving, participating in creating a community where there is no needy person among us.
““Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.” (Matthew 6:19–20, NLT)
Reflection: How can you shift your financial priorities to reflect an eternal perspective? What changes can you make today to invest in God's kingdom?
