God told Abraham that he would bless Abraham’s first born, but since he was the FIRST, Abraham would have to put him on the altar. Abraham didn’t HAVE to do it. But God showed him, “If you make this sacrifice, you will have SONS (plural). If you don’t, you will only have THIS son.” God gave the first tithe, his firstborn son, Jesus. He did that so that sin wouldn’t have dominion. Jesus IS the difference.

Abraham loved God, so he tied up his son, put him on the altar and raised his knife, then God said, “Now I know.” You see, God wants to know. YOU need to KNOW.
We Can’t Go To Jail For What We Think. Really?

When it comes to the things God blesses us with, he needs to know if he can trust us.
God Tests Us To Bless Us
We can be tempted to spend our blessings. We can be tempted to keep the 100% instead of giving 10% and being constructive with the 90%. Am I saying that if we don’t tithe we are stealing? Yes. Yes, I am.
Are You Equating That We Are Stealing?
The Bible says, will a mere mortal rob God? Yet, you rob me. “But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’ “In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse–your whole nation–because you are robbing me. (Proverbs 3:8-9)
Are We Going To Be Tempted To Take What Is God’s?
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. (Malachi 3:10)
