What does it mean to give as unto the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

To give as unto the Lord means to offer our gifts selflessly, motivated by love and directed toward honoring God.

Giving as unto the Lord implies that every act of generosity should be directed toward the glory of God rather than personal gain or public recognition. This is underscored in 2 Corinthians 9:7, where it states that God loves a cheerful giver. Our giving should be motivated by love, reflecting our relationship with God and our gratitude for His gifts. When we give as unto the Lord, we recognize that our resources are not just ours to keep but are entrusted to us for His service. This selfless attitude toward giving aligns with Matthew 6:20-21, where Jesus teaches that where your treasure is, there your heart will be also, reinforcing the idea that our giving directly reflects our priorities and devotion.
