What does the Bible say about tithing for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christians are not bound by the law of tithing but are called to give generously as the Lord leads them.

In the New Testament, the emphasis shifts from a mandated tithe to voluntary giving led by the Holy Spirit. In 2 Corinthians 9:7, Paul instructs believers to give what they have decided in their hearts, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. This illustrates that the New Covenant does not require tithing in the same way the Old Covenant did, but rather encourages a spirit of generosity and freedom in our giving. Galatians 5:1 further emphasizes the liberty believers have in Christ, freeing them from the legalistic demands of the law.
