The term is often associated with the idea of being given a task, responsibility, or resource to manage faithfully on behalf of another, particularly God. Biblical Usage and Context 1. Old Testament Foundations: The idea of being entrusted is rooted in the Old Testament, where God entrusts His people with His laws, commandments, and the care of His creation. For example, Adam and Eve were entrusted with the care of the Garden of Eden (<a href="/genesis/2-15.htm">Genesis 2:15</a>). The Israelites were entrusted with the Law, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/4-5.htm">Deuteronomy 4:5-8</a>, where Moses emphasizes the importance of observing God's statutes and judgments. 2. New Testament Teachings: In the New Testament, the concept of being entrusted is further developed, particularly in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. Jesus often used parables to illustrate the idea of stewardship and responsibility. In the Parable of the Talents (<a href="/matthew/25-14.htm">Matthew 25:14-30</a>), servants are entrusted with their master's wealth, and their faithfulness is tested by how they manage what they have been given. The Apostle Paul frequently speaks of being entrusted with the gospel. In <a href="/1_thessalonians/2-4.htm">1 Thessalonians 2:4</a>, Paul writes, "Instead, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, not in order to please men but God, who examines our hearts." This highlights the solemn responsibility of sharing and living out the message of Christ. 3. Spiritual Gifts and Ministry: Believers are entrusted with spiritual gifts and ministries for the edification of the church. In <a href="/1_peter/4-10.htm">1 Peter 4:10</a>, it is written, "As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another." This underscores the responsibility to use God-given abilities for the benefit of others and the glory of God. 4. Faithfulness and Accountability: Being entrusted implies accountability. In <a href="/luke/16-10.htm">Luke 16:10-12</a>, Jesus teaches, "Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." This principle emphasizes that faithfulness in small matters is indicative of one's ability to handle greater responsibilities. 5. The Role of Leaders: Church leaders are particularly highlighted as those who are entrusted with the care of God's people. In <a href="/titus/1-7.htm">Titus 1:7</a>, Paul instructs that an overseer "must be blameless—as a steward of God." This reflects the high standard of integrity and responsibility expected of those in leadership positions within the church. Theological Implications The concept of being entrusted in the Bible underscores the relationship between God and humanity, where God, as the ultimate owner, delegates responsibilities to His people. This delegation is not merely a task but a sacred trust that requires faithfulness, integrity, and a heart aligned with God's purposes. The faithful management of what is entrusted to believers is a testament to their devotion and obedience to God. Practical Applications For Christians, understanding what it means to be entrusted involves recognizing the various aspects of life—time, talents, resources, relationships—as gifts from God that require responsible stewardship. This perspective encourages believers to live purposefully, making decisions that honor God and reflect His kingdom values.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3866.htm">3866. paratheke -- a deposit or trust</a> ...
