The Bible emphasizes the responsible and ethical use of what has been entrusted to individuals, whether it be material possessions, spiritual gifts, or time. Stewardship and Responsibility The Bible frequently addresses the idea of stewardship, which involves using resources wisely and for God's glory. In the Parable of the Talents (<a href="/matthew/25-14.htm">Matthew 25:14-30</a>), Jesus illustrates the importance of using what has been given to us. The servants who wisely invest their master's money are rewarded, while the one who fails to use his talent is reprimanded. This parable underscores the expectation that believers should actively use their gifts and resources to further God's kingdom. Material Possessions Scripture provides guidance on the use of material possessions. In <a href="/1_timothy/6-17.htm">1 Timothy 6:17-19</a> , Paul instructs the wealthy to "do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and ready to share." This passage highlights the responsibility to use wealth not for selfish gain but to benefit others and store up "treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age." Spiritual Gifts The New Testament teaches that spiritual gifts are given by the Holy Spirit for the edification of the church. In <a href="/1_peter/4-10.htm">1 Peter 4:10</a> , believers are encouraged to "use whatever gift he has received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This directive emphasizes the communal aspect of spiritual gifts and the importance of using them to build up the body of Christ. Time and Opportunities The Bible also speaks to the use of time and opportunities. <a href="/ephesians/5-15.htm">Ephesians 5:15-16</a> advises believers to "be very careful how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." This passage calls for discernment and intentionality in how one uses time, recognizing the urgency of living in a way that honors God. Ethical Use The ethical use of resources and abilities is a recurring theme in Scripture. <a href="/proverbs/3-27.htm">Proverbs 3:27</a> instructs, "Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is within your power to act." This verse encourages believers to act justly and generously, using their means to do good whenever possible. Warnings Against Misuse The Bible also warns against the misuse of resources and abilities. <a href="/james/4-3.htm">James 4:3</a> cautions, "When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures." This warning highlights the danger of using resources selfishly or with impure intentions, which can lead to spiritual and moral decay. In summary, the biblical perspective on "using" encompasses a call to stewardship, ethical responsibility, and the wise management of all that God has entrusted to individuals. Believers are encouraged to use their resources, gifts, and time in ways that honor God and serve others, reflecting the values of the kingdom of God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Use.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/671.htm">671. apochresis -- abuse, misuse</a> ... abuse, misuse.
