Stewardship is not God taking something from us it is His method of bestowing His richest gifts upon His people. It is our divinely given opportunity to join with God in His worldwide and eternal redemptive movement (Matthew 28:19-20). In essence, stewardship defines our purpose in this world as assigned to us by God Himself. Starting with this concept, we are then able to accurately view and correctly value not only our possessions, but, more importantly, human life itself. The apostle Paul explains it best by saying, “For we are God’s fellow workers you are God’s field, God’s building” (1 Corinthians 3:9). God makes man His co-worker in administering all aspects of our life. It identifies God as owner and man as manager. The biblical doctrine of stewardship defines a man’s relationship to God. It is through our ability to fully grasp this and imbed it in our hearts that the doctrine of stewardship is understood.
