Suppose a trusted advisor gave you some counsel, which proved true over time. This counsel benefited you financially or gave you growth in many areas of your life. You then have the responsibility to faithfully put this knowledge to work for yourself and others.
I Timothy 6:20-21 says, “O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,” for by professing it some have swerved from the faith. Grace be with you.” God has given His children so many blessings. By faith, we have received salvation, redemption, reconciliation, hope, mercy, grace upon grace, gifts of the Spirit, and truth among these blessings. By remaining faithful and using them in service to God and people, we guard these blessings, and He is exalted.
