An Eternal Principle

“And in this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.” Hebrews 7:8

Yesterday, I shared with you that only 5% of Americans tithe. I am always amazed at the excuses Christians give for being disobedient to the to the Word of God.

The one I love to hear is that tithing was under the law, and now we’re under grace.
Not true!
Abraham tithed 400 years before the law - Genesis 14.
Jacob tithed before the law - Genesis 28:22.
The writer, here in Hebrews, is writing to Christians in the world - years after the resurrection - about tithing.

The principle of tithing is an eternal principle. If anything, if we say we’re under grace, we ought to give more. To give less than a tithe is a disgrace to grace.

Luke 6:46 says, “...why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”

My challenge to you is to trust God and try it.

Malachi 3:10 goes on to say “‘...test Me now in this,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.’”
