Section 119

Law of Tithing: The Lord introduced the law of tithing as a standing law for the Church. Members were commanded to donate one-tenth of their interest annually to the Church, which would be used for building temples, supporting the ministry, and helping the poor. Purpose of Tithing: The revelation emphasized that tithing was a way for the Saints to demonstrate their faith and obedience. It was also a means to sanctify the land of Zion and ensure that the Church had the necessary resources to carry out its mission. Blessings for Obedience: The Lord promised that those who faithfully paid their tithing would be blessed. He assured the Saints that their contributions would lead to spiritual and temporal blessings, both for individuals and the Church as a whole.
