GPC32c1: Tithes and Offerings, Introduction

Gospel Principles
Unit 7: Perfecting Our Lives
Chapter 32: Tithes and Offerings
Concept 1: Introduction

"Our Heavenly Father knows all of the things we need.  He has given us this commandment and promise: "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33).

We have been given commandments to help us prepare in every way to live in the presence of our Heavenly Father.  He has given us a way to thank him for our blessings.  Willingly paying tithes and offerings is one way we thank him.  As we pay these offerings, we show the Savior that we love him and will obey his counsel:  "And verily it is a day of dc/64/23c">sacrifice, and a day for the tithing of my people" (D&C 64:23).


Discussion

How do we show our gratitude to our Heavenly Father for all his blessings to us?"

Moroni 10:4-5
  "4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
  5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."
