"Tithe" means a tenth part or 10%.

Genesis 14:17-20 Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth or tithes of all the goods out of a heart of love, respect, and thankfulness to God and to give God the glory for the victory.

Genesis 14:21-24 Abraham refused any part of the returned goods because he wanted God to get the glory for the day's victory. He knew that Yahweh was his sufficiency.

Genesis 28:12-19, 20-22 Jacob confirmed that the tithe is the right way for man to believe and respond to God's blessings.

Deuteronomy 14:22-23 The tithe taught the people to reverence and respect God and to hold Him in awe. Tithing is a fundamental way to put God FIRST.

Proverbs 3:5-10 ALL that we have, our God has provided for us. Tithing is our proper acknowledgement to God for His blessings with a heart-felt attitude of love, honor, respect, and thankfulness.

Malachi 3:7-9, 10-12 The Scriptures tell us that God wants to bless His people and provide for our needs abundantly. The Scriptures also tell us that God is just. God gave man freedom of will. When we turn away from God, He has no choice but to refrain from blessing us.

Matthew 23:23 Jesus Christ said to continue to tithe but also to perform the weightier matters of the law (justice, mercy, and faithfulness).

II Corinthians 9:5-8 To sow bountifully means to give generously and to give with the right heart — a heart showing love, reverence, respect, honor, and thankfulness to our Father in Heaven.

Philippians 4:14-20 When we trust God with our finances, He promises to supply all of our need "according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

II Corinthians 9:9-15 Generous giving with the proper attitude is glorious to all: God, the giver, the recipients, and those who see the giving.

God desires His people to love and trust Him and be obedient to His commands with our whole heart. Tithing is one of God's commands. Our attitude of heart in obeying is to show love, reverence, respect, honor, and thankfulness to our Father in Heaven for all that He has done for us in this life and all that He will do for us throughout eternity.
