Tithing

Tithing is part and parcel of the old Levitical Law, and basically everything that has been said in the previous section on Christians being under Grace and not under Law, applies to tithing.

However it seemed a good idea to me, to discuss this particular question in more detail, on it’s own, because with most people, it is an extremely delicate matter. I get the feeling that whenever this subject is discussed, the question goes much deeper, than the mere paying-out of hard earned money, but rather, is a sharp insight into the true condition of our hearts, and an indicator of whether or not, our all, is laid on the alter of sacrifice.

It would be a good idea to establish here, that tithes and tithe, are mentioned about seven times in the “New Testament”, and always in direct connection with Old Testament and the Levitical Law, which the Jews were, of course, still faithfully keeping.

However under the new dispensation a better law replaces that of tithing 10% of all your increase.

Now, instead of Paying a tithe, we Give our all, to God.

You see, under the Law you had to pay a tithe, it was not optional, but a debt that you owed. Like any other account, you were not left with an option, but you were expected to pay your debts.

However as any Christian is aware, Jesus has paid all our debts for us, and therefore we owe no debt, but because we have exchanged our lives for the life of Christ, He (Christ) owns our lives and everything that pertains to our lives.
