How do we know that believers should not tithe?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are called to give freely, as tithing is a mandate from the Old Testament law, which does not apply to Christians under grace.

Tithing, which mandates a fixed ten percent offering, is viewed as a practice belonging to the Old Testament law, which was set aside by the gospel of Christ. In the New Testament, there is no command for believers to tithe; rather, Paul emphasizes giving freely and generously based on one’s ability and willingness. This is articulated clearly in 2 Corinthians, where Paul encourages believers to excel in the grace of giving, unlike the fixed nature of the tithe under the law. Believers are therefore called to exemplify the generosity found in the gospel, which far exceeds the legalistic approach of tithing.
