What does the Bible teach about tithing for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christians are not required to tithe but are called to give freely out of love and gratitude.

The Bible clarifies that Christians are not bound to the Old Testament law of tithing, which was a requirement for Israel. In Galatians, Paul emphasizes our freedom from the law and instead encourages us to give willingly, reflecting our love for God and our gratitude for His grace. Tithing under the law was prescribed as a command, while New Testament giving is characterized by generosity and freedom. As believers, we are to contribute according to the blessings we have received, expressed in 2 Corinthians 9:7, which encourages giving as a precursor to God's blessing. The focus is not on a fixed percentage but on a heart disposition that delights in giving.
