Galatians 5:14 tells us, “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Sacrifice is the essence of love, and the third tithe is a sacrifice because it stretches us financially. Thus, the third tithe is a year-long demonstration of love. Yet this example of love also teaches that, for God to accept it, we cannot neglect His other commands. God ties them all together.
