Biblical giving begins with the understanding that the earth is the Lord's, and the tithe belongs to Him. We can learn a lot from the Old Testament patterns: God wants people to give with a willing heart, and worshipping Him should be at the epicenter of our faith and our lives. We should be glad that God gives us the opportunity to participate and accrue rewards in heaven. Psalm 24:1; Leviticus 27:30. VF-2330.
