ARE WE BOUND BY MOSAIC LAWS? Pt.9 WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT TITHING Matt23:23-...H ypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law- justice, mercy and faith. YOU SHOULD TITHE, YES, but DO NOT NEGLECT the more important things. (NLT) In the above scripture, Jesus wasnt condemning tithing , He was only trying to strike a balance because the Pharisees were religious zealots that pay tithes but have bad character. Tithing and holy living should go along, that was the import of Jesus message. Jesus was only trying to tell them to add good character to their practice of tithing, never did Jesus condemn tithing. It wont profit you a dime to tithe when your life isnt right with God. As good as tithing is, if youre not living in love as commanded by the word, you wont make heaven. Dont tithe from what you stole or got fraudulently, without your money, Gods work will move on. Jesus is teaching us this morning to balance purity with the practice of tithing. PRAYER: I receive understanding In Jesus Name. PRAYER OF SALVATION Father, forgive me of my sins, I accept&confess Christ as my Lord&personal saviour In Jesus Name.
