Why Christians Give To People

"My brothers, what use is it for a man to say he has faith when he does nothing to show it?

 

 Can that faith save him? 

 

Suppose a brother or a sister is in rags with not enough food for the day, and one of you says, 'Good luck to you, keep yourselves warm, and have plenty to eat', but does nothing to supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? 

 

So with faith; if it does not lead to action, it is in itself a lifeless thing."

- James 2:14-17

 

I know some Christian millionaires who live the life of luxury behind guard gated community gates. They have an air of economic privilege as they wear their fine clothing, live in their custom built homes and drive their very expensive vehicles. They need to indicate to others that they have the where -with- all by driving these expensive vehicles.

 

And I know some Christians who remained humble, even though God prospered them financially. They use third parties to help out others so that no one can know where the help came from.

 

They support Christian causes anonymously.    

Which one are you my friend?
