The tenth of all they possessed given by the Jews to God by Divine command. The reason why Christians are no longer commanded to give a tenth is because all they have belongs to God. It is well, however, to hold this truth practically, for it is to be feared that many Christians fall short even of the Jewish standard of one-tenth. If we are not under law, but under grace, it is not that we should tender less to God under the latter than the former, but more.
