Picture: Q10. How does our careful stewardship bless others? JTLD 354.1

True stewards bless all they contact with acts of loving service, sharing anything God has bestowed that might benefit someone else. Generosity given in the spirit of Christ helps the receiver know the nature of God and can be an agency to draw the recipient toward Him. JTLD 354.2

Not only are individuals blessed by our acts of loving charity, but the adoption of the biblical plan of stewardship is essential for the church. The church will have adequate funds to supply its various ministries and will be “a witness to all the nations” (Matthew 24:14), extending the blessings of the gospel to others. JTLD 354.3
