We will value what we invest our treasures in. One often neglected way of setting apart our hearts for God is through our giving. When we give to God and toward His kingdom, our hearts are directed toward Him and we learn to revere Him.

Everything belongs to the Lord, that's why we offer everything back to Him. Giving our firstfruits signifies our commitment to set all we have apart for Him. While tithing doesn't eam God's blessings, it is our way of honoring Him which results in abundance of spiritual blessings and guidance in stewardship.

God, our righteous judge, instructs us to select leaders who will administer justice and calls/commands us to pursue righteous living.

God's generosity inspires generosity from us towards the poor.

God's heart of compassion is the foundation for our compassion.

As God's people, we are called to respond in good deeds and bring glory to God.

God added us to His church according to His will. We are God's people set apart for the Lord to be part of His church.
