How do we know that God values our giving?

The sermon underscores that God loves a cheerful giver, as indicated in 2 Corinthians 9:7. When believers give, it is not merely a financial transaction but a beautiful expression of their love for God and for one another. Paul commends the Philippians for their generosity and indicates that their gifts have eternal value, as they contribute to the spiritual fruit that will abound to their account. This highlights that God's assessment of our giving is rooted not in the amount, but in the attitude and heart behind the gift. True giving reflects our understanding of God's grace and our desire to see the gospel proclaimed.
