Duty
Luke 20:21-25
In the scripture above, the Pharisees were asking Jesus
if it were lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not. Jesus knew they were testing
Him so He asked for a denarius and asked them whose image and inscription did
it have on it. He then told them to give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God
what is God’s.
We know that all things come from and belong to God. We
also know that It is the law of the land to pay taxes. Since the law is not
against God’s will in this case, all persons who holds a job must pay taxes. Not
only it is a duty to pay taxes, as a Christian it is our duty to give back to
God a portion of what He has given to us. Take a pause now and consider what
God has given to you. Even if we have little or nothing, God has given us
everything. Consider the air we breathe and the motion of our body. God
supplies us with everything we have.
Some say we must give a tenth of our income, some say we
must support the church and its expenses. Others say we must support our
missionaries. Some say we must give until it hurts. It doesn’t matter how we
give and what it is for, we must do it out of Love for the God who created us.
What is important, however we give, we must do it with a
willing heart.
Please read the scriptures listed, study
them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus
Christ our Savior.
