The word “tithe” literally means tenth or 10%. Tithing, or giving ten percent of your income, isn’t merely giving something to God. It’s giving back what was his to begin with. All that we have, or hope to have, comes from him. The Bible says that tithing is a reminder that God is the supplier of everything. It teaches us to always put God first in our lives.

"You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."
- Mr. Darcy | Pride and Prejudice
"And yet I wish but for the thing I have;
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”
Shakespeare - Romeo and Juliet
"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” Dr. Suess
"Your love is better than ice cream." Sarah McLachlan
“All you need is love.” - the Beatles
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Matthew 22:34-36
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40
“...you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Leviticus 19:18
Jesus is Lord
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” 2 Corinthians 5:17
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:9-13
A New Command
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35
The new command, which helps to explain the greatest commandment, is that we are to trade our lives for one another.
Trade what’s valuable in your life so others may experience fullness of life.
That’s what Jesus did for us, and that’s what He’s asking us to do.
But you have to be willing, you have to be obedient.
