The concept of "uses" is deeply embedded in the biblical narrative, illustrating how God orchestrates events, objects, and people to fulfill His divine will.<br><br><b>Divine Uses</b><br><br>God's sovereignty is evident in how He uses individuals and nations to accomplish His purposes. For instance, God used Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt (<a href="/exodus/3-10.htm">Exodus 3:10</a>). Similarly, He used Cyrus, a pagan king, to facilitate the return of the Jewish exiles to Jerusalem (<a href="/isaiah/45.htm">Isaiah 45:1-4</a>). These examples demonstrate that God can use anyone, regardless of their background, to fulfill His plans.<br><br><b>Uses of Scripture</b><br><br>The Bible itself is described as being useful for various purposes. In <a href="/2_timothy/3-16.htm">2 Timothy 3:16-17</a> , it is written, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work." This passage highlights the multifaceted uses of Scripture in teaching, guiding, and equipping believers.<br><br><b>Uses of Creation</b><br><br>Creation is also used by God to reveal His glory and to serve humanity. <a href="/psalms/19.htm">Psalm 19:1</a> states, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands." Nature serves as a testament to God's majesty and power. Additionally, the resources of the earth are provided for human use, as seen in <a href="/genesis/1-29.htm">Genesis 1:29-30</a>, where God gives plants and animals for food.<br><br><b>Uses of Spiritual Gifts</b><br><br>The New Testament speaks of spiritual gifts given to believers for the edification of the church. In <a href="/1_corinthians/12-7.htm">1 Corinthians 12:7</a> , it is written, "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." These gifts are to be used to build up the body of Christ, demonstrating the importance of using one's talents and abilities for the benefit of others.<br><br><b>Uses of Trials and Suffering</b><br><br>Trials and suffering are also used by God for refining and strengthening faith. <a href="/james/1-2.htm">James 1:2-4</a> encourages believers to "consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." Through challenges, believers are molded into the likeness of Christ and grow in spiritual maturity.<br><br><b>Uses of Prayer</b><br><br>Prayer is a powerful tool used by believers to communicate with God, seek His guidance, and intercede for others. <a href="/philippians/4-6.htm">Philippians 4:6</a> instructs, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Prayer is used to align the believer's heart with God's will and to bring about change in accordance with His purposes.<br><br><b>Uses of the Church</b><br><br>The church is used by God as a community of believers to spread the Gospel and serve as a light in the world. <a href="/ephesians/4-11.htm">Ephesians 4:11-12</a> explains that Christ "gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ." The church is a vessel through which God's love and truth are shared with the world.<br><br>In summary, the concept of "uses" in the Bible encompasses a wide range of applications, from the use of individuals and nations to the use of Scripture, creation, spiritual gifts, trials, prayer, and the church. Each serves a unique role in the unfolding of God's divine plan.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/5536.htm"><span class="l">5536. chrema -- a thing that one <b>uses</b> or needs</span></a> <br><b>...</b> a thing that one <b>uses</b> or needs.
