We can see, in Genesis, 14:20, that Abraham gave a tithe to Melchizedek, who was a priest to the Almighty God. Jesus is our High Priest, according to Melchizedek, according to the Bible! So we give a tithe, to our High Priest and God, Jesus Christ!
Obviously, Abraham lived before the Law of Moses was given. So tithing is not only for those, who lived under the Law!
Where did Abraham learned about tithing? From God!
The Bible says that God loves a cheerful giver! The Bible also says that it is more blessed to give, than to receive a blessing!
We give our tithe, not only because it is an obligation, but out of our love for God! Because we love God, and because we recognize that everything we have and get in this life is from him, therefore, we respect God, and thank him, by giving our tithe to him, as a recognition that he is our source of every blessing!
