While many people may believe the statement “money can’t buy happiness,” nearly everyone would like to put that theory to test! 

Scripture says that “A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children” (Proverbs 13:22). As a result, many Christians defend and justify leaving vast sums of wealth to their children and grandchildren. I think in order to understand the principle behind this verse, we need to compare what an inheritance meant in biblical times, versus what an inheritance means in this culture today. 

It’s not how much money we make, but how we handle it that matters. And it all begins by recognizing the money we’re handling is not our own. 

I think of our lives in terms of a dot and a line, signifying two phases. Our present life on earth is the dot. It begins. It ends. It’s brief. 

By God’s grace, it’s not only others who benefit when we give. Here are just four of the many benefits we receive when we choose generosity.

Jesus encourages and commands us to give both our money and our time in caring for others. God will reward us for our faithfulness in both of these areas.
