Day 2 - Legalistic Tithing: A Misinterpretation of the Law
Next on our list is “Legalistic” tithing, which refers to the perversion of Israel's covenant tithe by religious leaders during Jesus' time. These leaders engaged in tithing as a form of legalism, emphasizing strict adherence to the law while “neglecting weightier matters such as justice, mercy, and faithfulness”.
Jesus condemned this practice in Matthew 23, highlighting the importance of justice, mercy, and faithfulness alongside tithing.
Legalistic tithing imposes burdensome obligations without recognizing the heart's condition or the transformative power of grace.
Galatians 5:4 offers a stark reminder that we are far better accepting Jesus’ grace than trying to be justified by the law.
As such, this is also a form of tithing that I believe should be avoided for new covenant believers.
