God doesn’t want and or need your money, He wants your heart. In Matthew 6:24, Jesus says we can’t serve both God and money, because money easily becomes our master. Giving isn’t about God needing something from us; it’s about freeing our hearts from being controlled by wealth. When we surrender our finances to God, we’re really choosing to trust and serve Him above everything else.

Yes, Jesus talks about money often. One key verse is Matthew 6:21, where He says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Jesus knew money powerfully reveals what we value most, so He taught about generosity, stewardship, and trusting God rather than wealth.

Matthew 6:24 – “No one can serve two masters… You cannot serve God and money.”
Luke 12:15 – “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”
Mark 10:21 – Jesus tells the rich young ruler, “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.”
Matthew 19:21 – Emphasizes storing treasure in heaven rather than on earth.
Luke 16:11 – “If you are not trustworthy with worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?”

Tithing is not just an Old Testament principle because tithing is a biblical principle. The Old and New covenants are not mutually exclusive revelations of God. New Testament instructs us not only to tithe but to do it with a cheerful heart, 2 Corinthians 9:7. Read more...

In Bible, the number ten often symbolizes completeness, responsibility, and God’s order. For example, the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) provide a complete moral framework for living. In the context of the tithe, giving a tenth can symbolize completeness in honoring God, dedicating a portion of one’s resources as an act of obedience and acknowledgment that everything ultimately belongs to Him (Genesis 14:18-20; Leviticus 27:30).

No, money itself isn’t evil. In 1 Timothy 6:10, the Bible teaches that it’s the love of money—not money—that is “the root of all kinds of evil.” When money becomes our ultimate pursuit or source of security, it can lead us away from God and cause harm. But when we see it as a tool entrusted by God, we can use it to bless others and advance His purposes.

The first mention of the tithe in the Bible is in Genesis 14:18-20, when Abraham gives a tenth of his spoils to Melchizedek, the priest of God Most High. This act of giving a tenth was an expression of worship and acknowledgment that God is the source of all blessings.
