As Giving Tuesday approaches, the virtue of generosity is on everyone’s mind.

The Bible tells us that there are many ways to show generosity. And recent research from State of the Bible reveals that people practicing their Christian faith through church involvement and Scripture engagement are more likely to be generous with their finances. But what is at the heart of generosity?

The answer can be found in the words of Jesus in Scripture:

Jesus answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and the most important commandment. The second most important commandment is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’”

Matthew 22:37-39 GNT

Our generosity is usually directed toward someone—a neighbor, a friend, a family member, a colleague, a stranger. Through our giving, we can help others experience God’s love for them.

This year, the hope and comfort offered in God’s Word is critical for our neighbors right here in America.

Our friends and neighbors continue to experience sickness and suffer the loss of loved ones in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Economic hardships threaten businesses and overwhelm families. Entire communities are reeling from natural disasters. And as the Christmas season approaches, feelings of grief, fear, and hopelessness are common in the aftermath of a tumultuous year.

It’s hard to imagine a better time to love your neighbors as yourself.

This Giving Tuesday, you can offer the comfort and hope of God’s Word to struggling Americans. Your support will provide Scripture booklets and specially developed, Bible-based resources like Beyond Disaster, which helps people understand how God is there for them in crises—and beyond.

Your gift of any amount will provide God’s Word directly to waiting hands and hearts. The Scripture booklets and resources you provide will be packed into food boxes, distributed at homeless shelters and adult rehabilitation centers, or provided through other ministry areas.

By making a gift in November, your impact will be tripled thanks to a generous matching grant provided by American Bible Society donors like you. But on Giving Tuesday, November 30, your generosity will have an even bigger impact on your neighbors. Thanks to a special matching grant from a faithful American Bible Society partner, your Giving Tuesday support will be quadrupled! That’s four times as many Americans who will feel your care and experience God’s love for them through the Bible’s message of hope!

To show your love for your neighbors and give the hope of God’s Word, visit the American Bible Society homepage and make your gift today!

Thank you for showing your generosity and supporting American Bible Society this Giving Tuesday!
