How do we know that God delights in voluntary gifts?

Answered in 1 source

God's nature as a giver reveals His delight in voluntary gifts, which are expressions of love rather than obligation.

The essence of God's character is that of a giver; He is not one who compels us to offer gifts but rather delights in our voluntary responses to His grace. Throughout Scripture, particularly in the teachings of Leviticus and the New Testament, it is evident that God desires gifts of love motivated by gratitude, not as a means to secure favors. The principle here is that our offerings are most pleasing to God when they arise from a heart transformed by His love, illustrating the joy of giving freely as an act of worship.
