I regard to Tithing , Jesus said “ these things you OUGHT to have done.” The Jews and Jews ONLY should have tithed, lest they be “ cursed” and NOT have their barns “ overflowing”, etc......Jesus was under Law and preached the Law to the fellow Jews that were also under that Old Covenant....Believe it or not, we are NOT a part of that Law ....
The Law DEMANDS Tithing to get a blessing .....Grace says that you have been already been blessed by what Christ did for you on the Cross......Now, What’s it Worth to you? That “ worth” will be determined by your Heart , as are ALL things under this Age Of Grace....God, in His Mercy and Kindness has even juiced things up a little bit.....the more you give, the more you get! The Old Testament man Of Faith got Earthly Blessings for showing Faith.The NEW Testament Man Of Faith gets Heavenly Blessings for showing Faith in His Giving.....
Percentages mean Nothing now— New Testament Believers gave 100%—-EVERYTHING! And they were EAGER to give it! Most of them got Nothing in the here-and-now.....many died broke in prison and later fed to lions.....So much for for Earthly Rewards!
BUT—— How do you think these Faithful Believers are making out now? If you said, “ they have now been rewarded with Unspeakable Treasure in Heaven”....... go to the head of the class....
