What's First or What's Left

Chris Bower

Biblical giving is fundamentally about offering our first and best to God, not our leftovers. Through the story of Cain and Abel, we learn that God values the heart and timing of our giving more than the amount. First fruit giving demonstrates faith in God's provision, trust in His promises, and recognition of His lordship. While many misconceptions exist about giving, the core principle remains that giving is meant for our spiritual growth and development of faith rather than God's need for our resources.
