How should Christians approach the concept of tithing?

Answered in 1 source

Christians should view tithing as an act of worship motivated by grace, not as an obligation.

The approach to tithing in a Christian context should be grounded in worship and grace rather than legalistic obligation. Paul’s teaching in 2 Corinthians 9 encourages believers to give thoughtfully based on their personal conviction, emphasizing the importance of the heart’s attitude over the amount given. While the Old Testament prescribed a formal tithe, the New Testament encourages a more generous and voluntary spirit of giving that flows from recognizing the grace bestowed by God. Accordingly, Christians ought to consider their resources as tools for expressing love and supporting the church’s mission, ensuring their contributions align with a heart cheerful and committed to serving God and others.
