Today, we will look at the fundamental ideas of grace giving and biblical tithing by faith. The patriarch Abraham is the originator of this notion of divine giving. He offered a voluntary tithe to Melchizedek as an act of worship and acknowledgement of God's supremacy. 14:20 (Genesis) Giving that arises from a sincere response to God's providential providence, rather than out of necessity. (See 2 Corinthians 9:7)

Grace giving emphasizes the multifaceted nature of giving, the discussion delves beyond monetary contributions and stretches to include the whole spectrum of God’s — talents, resources, and even the fruits of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23) With a focus on the essence of a cheerful giver, listeners are urged to reflect on the intentionality of their giving.

Just as Abraham knew his blessings were unmerited graces from God, so too should contemporary givers discern the heart behind their offerings. This biblical practice is not a static rule to be mechanically followed but an act of faith, a dynamic participation in God's kingdom work. (Hebrews 11:1)
