Can I still consider myself saved after committing grievous sins?

That's just one of the questions we'll be answering on today's edition of Core Christianity.

First up today, let's go to a call we receive from one of our listeners.

I have a question about tithing. I tithe regularly. However, I received an inheritance,

and I was told that if it's a gift, you don't have to tithe unless you feel like you want to.

Does God require us to tithe when it's a gift or inheritance. Thank you.

Hey, thank you for that question. Very practical. And I guess the first thing I would want to say,

and oftentimes we do draw a distinction between the tie that was in the Old Testament under the

old covenant, which was this requirement for the Old Testament under the old covenant,

which was this requirement for the people of God, they're living under the Mosaic

covenant. It was probably, you know, we talk about 10%, but probably when you included everything,

all the different ties that they were giving, was probably more than that. And so sometimes

people will say, well, is that, is that still binding on believers today under the new covenant?

I think giving generously is something that we are all called to do as Christians.
