What does the Bible say about robbing God in Malachi?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible in Malachi states that robbing God is done through neglecting to give tithes and offerings.

In Malachi 3:8, God questions His people, 'Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed me.' The people respond incredulously, asking how they have robbed Him. God clarifies that they have done so in tithes and offerings. This concept extends beyond mere financial contributions; it encompasses the broader idea of failing to give God the glory and honor due to Him. Essentially, God's demand for worship and offerings illustrates that He requires something of us that we, in our fallen state, cannot fully provide without His grace enabling us. The essence of giving stems from what He first gives; therefore, to rob God is to withhold the honor and devotion that rightfully belong to Him.
