TBG 396 Tithing Under The Law: Deuteronomy

Transformed By Grace – Episode 396: “Tithing Under the Law: Deuteronomy” Part 3 from the series Right on the Money. Many Christians believe tithing means giving 10% of income, but the Old Testament reveals a much more complex system. Ancient Israel actually had three different tithes totaling over 23% annually, not just 10%. The first tithe supported the Levitical priesthood, the second funded religious festivals in Jerusalem, and the third helped the poor every third year. These tithes were agricultural products from the Promised Land, never money. Tithing only applied to landowners and began after Israel settled in Canaan, not during their wilderness wanderings. Jesus never tithed because he owned no land. Understanding biblical tithing helps modern Christians approach giving with proper context. The Old Testament tithing system was designed for Israel's theocratic society and agricultural economy. Today's church operates under grace, where giving should flow from grateful hearts rather than legalistic requirements. This doesn't mean giving less; it means giving freely and joyfully as God leads. Christian stewardship involves supporting local churches and helping those in need from love rather than obligation. Biblical giving principles focus on cheerful, sacrificial generosity rather than meeting percentage requirements. Churches often teach simplified tithing without a full biblical context. True Christian giving reflects God's grace and blessing in our lives. Understanding Old Testament vs. New Testament giving helps believers give with proper motivation and freedom. #Biblicaltithing #OldTestamentgivingrequirements #churchfinances #christianstewardship #gracemessage #rightlydividing #transformedbygrace.
