How do we know that grace giving is true?

Answered in 1 source

Grace giving is rooted in the New Testament teachings of the Apostle Paul, highlighting generosity born of the Spirit.

Grace giving is substantiated through Scripture, especially in passages like 2 Corinthians 9, where Paul teaches that giving should stem from the grace that God has abundantly given to believers. This contrasts with the compulsion to tithe seen in the Old Testament, as in Malachi 3. Paul’s letters encourage believers to give from joyful and willing hearts, reflecting their understanding of God’s grace towards them. Signs of genuine grace working in a believer will manifest as a desire to support the needs of the church and its members out of love and gratitude, rather than obligation or fear of curses for noncompliance.
Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 9:6-11, Malachi 3:10
