What does the Bible say about cheerfulness in giving?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God loves a cheerful giver, emphasizing motivation by desire rather than duty.

According to 2 Corinthians 9:7, each person should give what they have decided in their heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. This teaching highlights that genuine giving comes from a heart transformed by the love of Christ, rather than a sense of religious obligation. When giving is viewed as duty, it turns into a mere transaction rather than a heartfelt response to God's grace and mercy.
