- Does Malachi 3:10 teach us that tithing is required for all people? Are we blessed if we do tithe and cursed if we don't? What is the real meaning of Malachi 3:10?
Malachi 3:8-10 was written to the nation of Israel under the Old Covenant. New Covenant believers are not required to tithe but rather give from the heart as a work of God's grace in our lives.
Malachi 3:10... 10 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.
What did Paul say about tithing?

So true. Malachi 3:10 is probably the most misinterpreted and misused scriptures ever. I might add that it's most likely that Malachi 3:10 was specifically directed towards the Levitical Priests. See Malachi 1:6 and 2:1. Regardless, the text can't be universally applied either historically or currently. And tithing from earned wages carries no biblical precedent.
