The Bible gives numerous reasons for tithing. Below are a few. The key principle is that giving reveals spiritual maturity.
1. Because God commands it. Lev. 27:30.
2. Because Jesus himself commanded it. Matt. 23:23.
3. Tithing demonstrates that God has first place in my heart. Deut. 14:22-23.
4. Tithing reminds me that everything was given to me by God! Deut. 8:18.
5. Tithing expresses my gratitude to God. Deut. 16:17-18.
Each person should give what they have decided in their heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.
- Paul the Apostle (2 Corinthians 9)
