Under the old covenant, tithing was mandatory (Malachi 3). Under the new covenant, tithing is not mandatory but, tithing is an avenue where God enhances the quality of our lives. This is stated in Hebrews.

Hebrews 7:4 Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder! 5 Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham. 6 This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. 7 And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater.

Abraham, who was not under the law, gave his tithes to the priest. The priest accepted it and blessed him. This passage is encouraging believers to give their tithes so that God can bless their lives.

Tithing also supports the Kingdom of God. In order for ministries to have nice facilities, outreach ministries, and the ability to broadcast the Word of God to the world, it takes money.

Everyone, let’s open up our hearts to God and give our tithes, offering, and gifts of love.
