Money ranks pretty high on human priorities—we tend to be stingy. When sin entered the world, selfishness took the place of love. Generosity does not come naturally or easily.
Tithing is one of heaven’s prescriptions for our spiritual health. Jesus’ life was characterized by giving. Giving is the lifestyle that will prepare us for heaven.
“Give and it will be given to you” (Luke 6:38, NKJV). Such is God’s cycle of blessing, and God will keep His half and honor His promise. Giving reciprocates blessings. At a baptism, we see church money at work. Giving pays for electricity to have a baptistery full of warm water. This is just one of many examples.
We will be the blessed ones when we are faithful to return our tithes and offerings every week. God will be pleased, His work will prosper, and we will have joy knowing that we have had a part in winning souls for God’s kingdom.
