Tithing as a requirement is not affirmed in the New Testament, but rather a life of generous and sacrificial giving is emphasized.
The truth about tithing arises from understanding the context of the scriptures. Under the Mosaic law, the tithe was indeed a requirement, but with the establishment of the New Covenant through Christ, that obligation has been lifted. The New Testament emphasizes grace-driven generosity rather than fixed percentages. For instance, Paul encourages believers in 2 Corinthians 9 to give willingly and cheerfully, reflecting their love for God and His people. This shift indicates that while the concept of giving is central to the Christian faith, the rigid requirement of tithing is not supported in the context of grace.
