Thematic Bible: Accountability connected with stewardship
Thematic Bible
Accountability » Accountability connected with stewardship
And I say to you, a person will [have to] give an account [to God] on the day of judgment for every careless word he had spoken [while on earth].
"Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is similar to a certain king who decided to settle his account with his servants.
Therefore look, I am sending to you prophets, wise men and scholarly teachers. You will murder and crucify some of them; you will whip some of them in your synagogues and pursue them from town to town.
Now after a long time the master of these servants returned [from his trip] and proceeded to go over his accounts with each of them.
But God said to him, 'You fool! Tonight your life will be taken away from you. And [then] who will get the things you have stored up [for yourself]?'
But the one who did not know [i.e., what his master wanted], yet did things deserving of punishment, will be whipped with few lashes. And to the person who has been given much [responsibility], there will be much required [of him]. And to whom people entrust much [responsibility], they will ask [much] more from him.
And it happened when the gentleman returned, having received his appointment as king, that he ordered the slaves to whom he had given the [sums of] money, to report to him. He wanted to find out how much [money] they had made on their investments.
So then, every one of us [i.e., including Christians] will have to give an account of himself to God.
Now, those people you used to run around with cannot understand why you have stopped living such wasteful lives, so they just "badmouth" you. But, they will have to answer to God, who will judge both those who are now alive and those who have already died, [for the way they have lived].
