What is the relationship between love and giving in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

In the Bible, love is the foundational motivation for giving, as true gifts come from the heart.

The relationship between love and giving is foundational in biblical teaching. Paul encourages the Corinthians to prove the sincerity of their love through their generosity (2 Corinthians 8:8). Genuine love naturally leads to a desire to give selflessly to others. In essence, if God's love fills our hearts, it compels us to respond with acts of generosity. The act of giving becomes an expression of our love for God and neighbor, exemplifying the grace that God has shown us in Christ.
