Of The Grace Of Giving
Scriptural giving is one of the fundamentals
of the Faith.
2 Corinthians 8:7, "Therefore, as ye abound
in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and
in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound
in this grace also." We are commanded to bring our gifts into
the storehouse (common treasury of the church) upon the first
day of the week.
1Corinthians 16:2, "Upon the first day of
the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God
hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come."
Under Grace we give, and do not pay, the tithe - "Abraham
GAVE the tenth of the spoils," -
Hebrews 7:2,4 - and this was four hundred
years before the law, and is confirmed in the new Testament;
Jesus said concerning the tithe, "these ought ye to have done",
Matthew 23:23. We are commanded to bring
the tithe into the common treasury of the church.
Leviticus 27:30, "The tithe ... is the Lord's."
Malachi 3:10, "Bring ye all the tithes into
the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and
prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will
not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing,
that there shall not be room enough to receive it." In the
New Testament it was the common treasury of the church.
Acts 4:34,35,37, "And brought the prices
of the things that were sold and laid them down at the apostles'
feet ... Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and
laid it AT THE APOSTLES' FEET."
