AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 9:7 Let each one give [thoughtfully and with purpose] just as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver [and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift]. [Prov 22:9] |
Bible Question: please tell me if we are under the law of the church to give tith, or it is as we please and from the heart and as much as we can even if it is not our full tith. thank you |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Num 18:21, 26; Deu 14:22-27, 28-29; 2 Cor 9:7 farzaneh, If you enter tithe under Quick Search, you'll see many posts. There were three OT tithes 1) the general tithe paid to the Levites (Num 18:21), who even tithed to the preists (vs 26). 2) the sacred meal tithe (Deu 14:22-27) 3) The tri-annual tithe to the poor (Deu 14:28-29) We need to give to the Lord first (Num 18:12-13). It is like taxes; the gov't gets their cut first, or second in our case. But, He never stops loving us ... if we don't give, it shows we don't love Him. Love is doing something for another, without thought of anything in return. 2 Cor 9:7 Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. It is sad how little Christians give. Searcher |
