When it comes to giving tithes and offerings, it is wise to see why tithes and offerings are sown. The definition of tithe is, “a tenth part.”
God created the system
God created all things! All things means all things, nothing is excluded. For example, according to John 1:3
“All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
Again, “For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.” Hebrews 3:4
What is the purpose for all things?
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” Revelation 4:11
Adam inherited a system
We have to go back to the beginning in order to have a complete understanding of why things exist. Adam inherited a system. God planted a garden eastward in Eden and put Adam into it. Adam was given the responsibility of managing the Garden of Eden. He was given permission to freely eat from any tree in the Garden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil of which he was instructed to dress it and keep it.
It was never God’s will for Adam to know good or evil. Adam was to sacrifice the fruit of that tree to God as a sacrifice. In exchange for his sacrifice, Adam was given the right look upon the face of God. Adam’s reward for faithful service would have been the fruit of the tree of life.
Adam didn’t have to grow the tree; all he had to do was to manage the fruit of the tree. The fruit that fell from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was Adam’s tithe.
In our next post, we will see how God becomes the tithe!
Grace and peace!
