Tithing and giving becomes a duty instead of an act of joyful worship.

Tithing first appeared in the
Bible when Abraham gave one-tenth of the spoils
of war to Melchizedek, the
priest-king of Salem(Gen 14:18-20)

grain from soil or fruit from

Tithing indicated Israel's devotion to
God, and the people did not always give as they should. (Mal 3:8-12) When the people
forsook worship of Yahweh their tithes
went to idols. (Amos 4:4)

It is all about the devotion of
the chosen people of God

Jesus drew attention on inward attitudes.
He rebuked the people for tithing to smallest grains yet forgetting the more important things.
(Matt 23:23)

He considered stewardship of finances as an indication of
trustworthiness with spiritual things (Luke 16:11), which were
more important (Matt 6:19-20).

There were instructions:1) those who minister are entitled to receive support (1 Cor 9:14)2) the poor and needy should be cared for(1 Cor 16:1; Gal 2:10)3) those who give can trust God as the source of all that is given (2 Cor 9:10), to supply their needs (2 Cor 9:8;Php 4:19);4) and giving should be done with joy (2 Cor 9:7).
