We are all stewards, whether faithful or slothful, of our time, talents, possessions and the use we make of the truth. "Unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required" (
Luke 12:48
48
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. (Luke 12:48)
). "It is required in stewards that a man be found faithful" (
1 Cor. 4:2
2
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. (1 Corinthians 4:2)
). "As good stewards of the manifold grace of God" (
1 Peter 4:10
10
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. (1 Peter 4:10)
). "Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price" (
1 Cor. 6:19,20
19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (1 Corinthians 6:19‑20)
). "If ye have not been faithful in that which is anther's" (
Luke 16:12
12
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? (Luke 16:12)
). "He that hath My word, let him speak My word faithfully" (
Jer. 23:28
28
The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord. (Jeremiah 23:28)
). For these last, difficult times we have the apostle's second letter to Timothy, "Commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also" (
2 Tim. 2:2
2
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. (2 Timothy 2:2)
), "for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine" (
2 Tim. 4:3
3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; (2 Timothy 4:3)
).
