HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div
Greed and selfishness are sins that we must work toward abolishing. Although this might be difficult to do, as Christians, we should try our very best to live a holy life. Think not of what you can do for yourself – but think of what you can do for others. After all, God gave his only begotten Son to save us from our sins!
No one is perfect, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to avoid greed throughout our life. We should spend our days giving to others and not keeping score. This is so hard to do. We should try to reflect on all of the times in our lives that we were completely selfless. It’s hard to think of times, isn’t it? That’s why we need to be better Christians every day of our lives!
It’s important to be willing to give, both to the Lord and His Church and to other people in need. If you want to know what the Bible says about giving, then be sure to read the Bible verses on giving below.
