Giving the Tithe – Deuteronomy 26:12
While giving a tithe of your income is not a requirement under the new covenant, generosity is still expected. Help those who are in need.
Encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. (1 Thess. 2:12 NIV)
While giving a tithe of your income is not a requirement under the new covenant, generosity is still expected. Help those who are in need.
Jesus, in the parable of the sheep and goats, teaches us the importance of generosity. Not just to some. But even to the least of these.
How generous are you in your time of need? Jesus promises that if we give generously, God will take note and be generous with us in return.
Give generously and cheerfully. Give what you are willing to give, not some arbitrary amount. And don’t limit your giving just to your church.
How generous are we with our resources? Are we like the Macedonian churches, exhibiting a wealth of generosity? Or do we fall short?
