Randy Alcorn emphasizes that when we find ourselves with more than we need, our immediate and instinctive reaction should be to give. He believes that generosity should not be a complex decision, but rather an inherent response to the abundance we encounter in life. This perspective aligns with the teachings found in Scripture and reflects the importance of addressing the needs of others.

The act of giving is portrayed as a fundamental responsibility that stems from recognizing our own blessings. Alcorn argues that as we acknowledge our excess, the moral choice becomes clear—supporting those less fortunate should be an automatic reaction, embodying compassion and stewardship.
