What Is Tithing?

Psalms 24:1 "The earth is the Lord''s, and all it contains"

As Christians, we believe that God owns everything and all things were given by Him. The Bible teaches us to be good stewards that means good managers of the many things that God has given to us.


As a believer, money isn't our possession, it's God's possession, which we hold in trust.

Tithing is an act we do to show that God is owner of what we have. Tithing is one of the first rule of giving found in the Bible – Abraham tithed before the Law was given to Moses.

Under the law in the Old Testament, giving a tithe was required. God's people in the Old Testament were asked to give one tenth of their income.

Tithing is an act of our trust and thanksgiving to the Lord.
