774. Released From the Tithing Tether; Free to Give Gracefully

One of those bondages is breaking free from a religious requirement referred to as a tithe or giving 10% of all your monetary income.

In the New Covenant of Jesus Christ, we’re in a very different paradigm where God’s Spirit lives in us, leading and guiding us as individuals. As a new creation in Christ, it’s within our new righteous nature to desire to give willingly. The Apostle Paul provided a summary of giving under grace:

“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).
