What is tithing?

Tithing is a spiritual law given by God to humankind to assist people in finding abundance, fulfillment, and gratitude in their everyday lives.

When a person tithes, the universe that works under the spiritual law of tithing says, “If you have that much to give, that means you are open to receive more.”

The origin of tithingAs soon as Abraham saw Melchizedek, the wisdom

of his heart knew he was seeing one who is with God. Abraham knew intuitively that he was to give back 10 percent of all that he had in the world to the representative of God, and so began the practice of tithing.

When Abraham was blessed by Melchizedek and then gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything, a spiritual covenant was set up for our time, whereby humankind is to give a tenth of its increase (what a person receives that is his or hers) back to God.

True Father :

Making an offering to God should be the first priority in life, before thinking of your own life.

If Godis placed as a second priority, He willlater end up being in the last place. Doyou think it will become like that or not?(96-101, 1978.1.2)

To be rich towards God is to give ‘our extra’ what we don’t need to those who are in need.
