Title: The Third Tithe 26.hwp
1. This chapter concludes the second sermon among the three long sermons that make up Deuteronomy.
However, the reason why the rules regarding offerings and offerings (tithing) are mentioned in this chapter
Let's see what
2. The observance of the law comes from gratitude for God's grace.
No commandment or law can be kept without true thanksgiving to God for saving Yuri from sin and death.
3. Professing faith while offering offerings - Without faith it is impossible to please God, and any act or offering that does not involve true faith is bound to be hypocrisy to God.
4. The third tithe - It may be a little strange, but this is the third and sixth year of the sabbatical year, when the tithe was collected and used only for almsgiving (missionary work) (14:28-29) This is called the third tithe. .
5. The understanding of tithing is essential and must be used correctly as the Lord commands.
6. A third tithe may never be diverted. - The third tithe, which should be used for almsgiving (missionary work), must not be used for any other cause or pretext.
It is impossible to reduce the cost of relief (missionary) for any reason, such as a new church building, an educational center, or a private residence.
7. Restricting spending on the excuse of tightening even the already established relief (missionary) budget is a direct challenge to God's commandments.
8. We can say that we have paid a proper tithe to God only when we use our legitimately earned wealth with thanksgiving and faith and use it for biblical purposes.
9. The Christian faith is a covenant religion led by God. Therefore, it is not a metaphysical fantasy that guarantees a one-sided promise of blessing, but rather the source and attendant of life that we must abide by with all our body and mind. Therefore, we must prove our faith with our hands and feet, not our mouths.
