Tithing: What does the Bible Teach (Often used to 'fleece the flock')

Under a curse…

If you want to understand the book of Malachi, read Malachi 4:4, “Remember the Law of Moses…” That is the whole thrust of Malachi.

But we do not live under the Law, we live under the grace provided in Jesus Christ. If you choose to submit yourself to even part of the Law of Moses, you have a problem.

For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the Law, to perform them” (Galatians 3:10).

If you choose to place yourself under the works of the Law, you are under a curse, for the simple reason that you cannot keep the Law of Moses. Your fallen, sinful nature will see to that.

The purpose of the Law is to act as our tutor, or “school master”, to lead us to Christ, that we may be justified by faith (Galatians 3:24).
