Matthew 23:23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For?you tithe mint and dill and?cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law:?justice and mercy and faithfulness.?These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.
You can't 'check-box' and 'buy' your salvation. This verse reminds me of the old mafia movies. You have a scene where a mobster goes to church and gives a wad of cash as a tithe (probably from someone he stole it from) as a way to 'buy a good seat in heaven'. Tithing is a good way to show our obedience to Christ and show that our heart is with Him, but God doesn't need our money. He's not looking for cash, he's looking for commitment to His commands. We follow His commands because we're faithful and are humbled by His grace. Don't try to buy your way to heaven. Let your faith guide your steps and have a blessed day!
