Verses on Giving

 Psalm 112:5

Good will comes to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice.
Proverbs 11:24-25
One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly but comes to poverty. 25 A generous person will proper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
Matthew 6:2-4
So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocritics do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Proverbs 22:9
The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.
2 Corinthians 8:7
But since you excel in everything-in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness, and in the love we have kindled in you-see that you also excel in this grace of gifting.
2 Corinthians 9:6-9
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.”
2 Corinthians 9:10-11
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

Verses on Faith

  Matthew 21:21-22 Jesus replied, "Truly I tell you if you have faith & do not doubt not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain,' go throw yourself into the sea,' & it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Romans 4:18-21 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it has been said to him, "so shall your offspring be." 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced fact that his body was as good as dead-since he was about 100 years old-& that Sarah's womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had the power to do what he had promised. Romans 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, & and the message hears through the word about Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:7 For we live by faith, not by sight. Ephesians 6:...
