What did Jesus say about tithes?
In Matthew 23:23, Jesus warns against focusing too much on the rules of tithing without paying attention to the more important things like justice, mercy and faithfulness. Generosity is super important to me. I believe it goes hand in hand with contentment and helps us avoid this instant gratification lifestyle that's just so easy to fall into these days. And one of the many ways to be generous with your money is by giving tithes and offerings. But what does tithing actually mean, and how much should you be tithing? I’ll be answering those tithing questions—and more!

What Is Tithing?
A tithe is a portion (10%) of your income given to your local church.
Because the custom of tithing is biblical, many Christians and Jews practice it as part of their faith. In fact, the Bible explains that tithing is an important part of faith for those who follow God and that your tithe should be money you set aside first.
What Does the Bible Say About Tithing?
The idea of tithing—and specifically giving 10%—comes straight from Scripture. Here are a few key Bible verses about tithing:
Leviticus 27:30 (TLB): “A tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, is the Lord’s, and is holy.”
Proverbs 3:9 (NIV): “Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops.”
Genesis 28:20–22 (NIV): “Then Jacob made a vow, saying, ‘If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear so that I return safely to my father’s household, then the LORD will be my God and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.’”
Nehemiah 10:35 (NIV): “We also assume responsibility for bringing to the house of the LORD each year the firstfruits of our crops and of every fruit tree.” Don’t let all the gardening metaphors throw you off. What these verses are really saying is that you should give a portion (specifically a tenth) of whatever you make back to God. And that word firstfruits is just a biblical way of saying that you should give first—before you do anything else with your money. That’s why giving should be the first category in your budget—because when you tithe before making a plan with the rest of your money, you’re making it a priority instead of an afterthought. You’re giving your firstfruits instead of your leftovers.
Why Should I Tithe?
The Bible tells us that tithing is a way to show that we trust God with our lives and our finances. Because here’s the deal: Tithing isn’t for God’s benefit. He doesn’t need our money. Instead, tithing is meant for our benefit, because sacrificing a portion of our income reminds us to rely on God to meet our needs. Plus, it makes us more aware of the needs of others. In fact, supporting the needs of pastors and the work of the local church is one of the main reasons behind tithing. When you give tithes and offerings, it helps your local church actively be the church by helping others. Giving encourages a grateful and generous spirit and can help steer us away from greed and discontent. Plus, I always say that being outrageously generous is the most fun you’ll ever have with money! And it starts with tithing.
Do Christians Have to Tithe?
While tithing 10% of your income is biblical, you’re not required to tithe to be a Christian. And you’re not a bad Christian if you don’t tithe. Thankfully, God loves us when we give and when we don’t give. We don’t have to tithe to earn God’s love—because we already have it. In Matthew 23:23, Jesus warns against focusing too much on the rules of tithing without paying attention to the more important things like justice, mercy and faithfulness. This isn’t about a rule. This is about your heart. Bottom line? You should be giving in some way. But tithing is more of a spiritual topic than a financial one. It’s about living with the attitude that we’ve been blessed to be a blessing. In fact, 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV) says, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” There is nothing on earth that impacts our lives more than our thoughts, still, the enemy has enough power to influence them. That's why every thought that crosses our mind must be taken captive and made obedient to Christ.
