How do we know grace is foundational to giving?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is foundational to giving because it acknowledges that all we have is a gift from God, which we then share with others.

The Bible emphasizes that all things come from God, illustrating that our giving is not an act of loss but a recognition that what we possess is ultimately His. For instance, in 1 Chronicles 29:14, David acknowledges that all he and the people have given is from what God has provided. Thus, our ability to give stems from God's grace; we are simply stewards of His blessings. When we understand this, we give out of gratitude and mercy rather than compulsion or a desire for recognition (2 Corinthians 9:7).
