1 Corinthians 6:20 “for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”
Stewardship is not ownership
Psalm 24:1 ESV
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein,
Use it or lose it.
Matthew 16:23 “But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.””
Theologically, the parable pictures stewardship in the period between Jesus’ first and second comings.
