Living generously isn't about a transaction. It's a relationship. The Bible teaches us a baseline standard for giving: the tithe. When we give the first 10% of our income to our local church, we put God first in our lives. Rather than being a mere transaction, this represents our relationship with God taking priority over everything else. Tithing is the foundation of our giving, an act of worship that expresses our gratitude, faith, and love for God and others.
