God is very benevolent, so much so that He has provided for all of His creation from the very beginning of creation. Everything we have and are have come from God because without Him we can do nothing. He alone gives us the ability to work and create wealth, and provides the means to that end.
God cares for us, we are expected to care for others too from the provision He makes for us. Sadly many people in the church today are encouraged to give in order to receive more from God, a very evil and wrong motive for giving. If we are not able to share what God has mercifully and benevolently placed in our hands, how can we expect Him to continue to give to us for selfish reasons.
We are recipients of God's grace and mercy, we are expected to give back as much as we have received in the same spirit of love.
There is only ONE way to be a Christian!
