The Law of Tithe

Tithing is an offering to God, a tenth of one's income or property. It is not worldly substance, but a holy offering like a lamb or a goat in the time of Moses.
We must honor God by offering our firstfruits. God will bless us, so that our barns will be filled to overflowing.
Pr 3:9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing.
The origin of tithing can be found in Genesis. Abraham the father of faith shows us a good example of tithing to God. After defeating his enemies to rescue Lot and returning home, Abraham met Melchizedek. Melchizedek blessed Abraham through bread and wine and Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything―a tenth of all the goods he had obtained in battle.
Ge 14:17 Abram gave him [Melchizedek] a tenth of everything.

Some say we don't have to observe tithing nowadays. However, Jesus teaches us that we must practice it because it belongs to God.
Mt 22:21 Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and Give to God what is God's.
Jesus wants us to give to God what is God's. Let's figure out what belongs to God through the Bible.
Lev 27:30 A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.
Tithes belong to God. We must give tithes to God as Jesus commands. Let's find out Jesus' correct teachings of tithing in the Bible.
Mt 23:23 You should have practiced the latter [justice, mercy …], without neglecting the former [a tithe].
We must tithe to God cheerfully, not reluctantly.
2 Co 9:7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
cf.) "The true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth" (Jn 4:23).
What God wants is our heart to be with God, not our possessions.
2 Co 12:14 What I want is not your possessions but you.
God wants us to store up for ourselves treasures in heaven through tithing. That is what God really wants from us.
Mt 6:19-20 Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven.
Mal 3:7-12 See if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.
Through tithing God gives us much blessing. We can receive heavenly blessing by God's precious law of tithe.

Abraham gave a tenth of everything and he was blessed by God (Ge 14:17-; Ge 12:3). Jacob vowed to give a tithe to God, and he was also blessed by practicing tithes (Ge 28:22). Likewise, God will bless us when we practice giving tithes.
To give tithes these days can be difficult. It is a testimony of your love and faith in Christ when you "obey" tithing. Your obedience shows that you really love Christ, just as Abraham did long ago. Have a strong faith in God's promise and you will surely be blessed by God. God bless you.
