The letter of the Law kills hope and breeds despair. Christ is our only hope and He offers peace with God through His blood. What we could never earn through the law He freely gives to all who place their salvation and trust in Him alone! Remember His love covers a multitude of sin.
The Pharisees worried about tithing ten percent, even down to the smallest herbs, which were tithed according to the dictates of tradition, not the Law of Moses. However, they neglected two basic things that the prophets also had warned about: love and justice.
Luke 11:42
42 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.
