The Treasure Principle: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving

by Randy Alcorn

You can’t take it with you, but you can send it on ahead. However, most Christians misunderstand giving as loss, when Scripture actually presents it as an investment with guaranteed eternal returns.

• God owns everything - we are simply managers, not owners
• Giving as “sending treasure ahead” rather than giving it away
• Moving from an earthly mindset to an eternal one
• Practical encouragement to start giving joyfully now

Jesus wants his followers to store up treasures in heaven, not on earth. Generosity, done rightly, can bring God maximum glory and his children more joy than any purchase ever could.
