I Will One Day Give Account

In the last article we saw how Jesus was interested and watched how people gave their offerings. He still does the same today and watches the way we give our offerings because this reveals our love and our Heart to God. Let us look at the comments of our Lord regarding the poor widow: *“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?” Mark 12:44.*

There are Two Important points here: First, Jesus looked at what everybody gave and estimated its true value. Second, God gauges what we give by what we keep. Jesus stated that the one who put in the least in actual amount gave the most because she had nothing left. Bear in mind that when God measures what you give, He looks at what you retain for yourself. One day, all of us will have to answer for ourselves to God.

To “Give Account” in the original Greek is used primarily in reference to financial matters. In the above Scripture, Paul quotes Isaiah 45:23, to point out that a day is coming when every believer will give an account to God regarding his actions and this includes your financial support to the Church.
