Why Tithe When Giving Is So Much Better?

giving to the church

There’s a clear difference between tithing and grace giving. In the Old Testament, a mandatory tithe was prescribed. This means God commanded the ancient Israelites to give 10% of their crops and livestock to the tribe of Levi. In contrast, under the New Testament giving is voluntary. Scripture encourages believers to give offerings out of their own free will. Regardless of your biblical interpretation, charity should remain an act of love.

ONE OF THE biggest misconceptions about tithing is that tithing is the same as giving. From a biblical standpoint, tithing and giving are two entirely different concepts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tithing Commanded for Christians?

Tithing, or giving a tenth of crops and livestock, is an Old Testament practice. The New Testament does not command Christians to tithe. Still, it does emphasize the importance of giving.

2 Corinthians 9:7 (KJV) states: “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” This suggests that New Testament giving is about the attitude of the heart rather than a fixed percentage.

What Is the Difference Between Tithing and Grace Giving?

Tithing refers to the Old Testament practice of giving a specific tenth (10%) of one’s produce to the Temple or Levites. Grace giving, a New Testament concept, emphasizes giving freely and generously from the heart, without a specified amount or percentage.

The principle of grace giving is captured in 2 Corinthians 9:7 (KJV): “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver,” underscoring that the motive and attitude behind the gift are paramount.

What Is an Example of Grace Giving?

An example of grace giving is found in the early Christian church. The believers voluntarily sold their possessions and distributed the proceeds to those in need. This act of generosity was not out of obligation or a set requirement but was a spontaneous, heartfelt response to God’s grace and love.

Acts 4:34-35 (KJV) recounts this: “Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.” This depicts a community exemplifying grace-giving by prioritizing the needs of others and giving cheerfully.
