In this eye-opening episode, we explore the truth about tithing and giving in light of Christ's finished work. Discover how understanding God's nature of love and grace transforms our approach to giving. Learn why resting in Christ's complete sacrifice frees us from performance-based religion and allows us to experience the fullness of God's blessings. The impression you have of God defines your expression of Him.
Key Points:
- We don't have to give to God to receive from Him. God gave all of Himself through Christ on the cross and the Holy Spirit in us; all we have to "do" is believe to receive all of Him.
- God, in the fullness of His love, freely gave us all things, every spiritual gift in the heavenly realm in Christ Jesus
- Tithing was part of the Old Testament law, which Christ fulfilled completely.
- The "first fruits" and "dangerous seed" concepts point to Christ, not our money or offerings.
- God's blessings, including Abraham's blessing, are received through faith in Christ, not through our giving. Abraham’s blessing is not money; it is the promise of the Holy Spirit through faith in Christ.
- We entered God's presence through Christ's blood, not through tithing or any other work.
- God's love and faithfulness are not dependent on our giving or performance. The impression you have of God defines your expression of Him. Declarations:
I am blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus.
Christ is my first fruit, my dangerous seed, and my complete offering to God.
I have confident access to God's presence through the blood of Jesus.
The blessing of Abraham is mine through faith by the promise of the Holy Spirit.
Nothing can separate me from God's love, which is in Christ Jesus.
I rest in the finished work of Christ, free from the burden of law-keeping.
God's faithfulness to me is based on His character, not my performance.
I am complete in Christ, lacking nothing and fully sanctified by His offering.
My giving flows from a heart of love and gratitude, not obligation or fear.
I decree the manifestation of my portion in all things in Christ Jesus.
