The R’s in Stewardship (Responsibility, Rights, Regret, Reward, Requirement)

The Biblical doctrine of stewardship is about our relationship to God. That God is the owner and man as manager. God makes man His co-worker in administering all aspects of our life. In fact (1 Corinthians 3:9) Paul says “For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building”.

“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.” KJV

Stewardship is about our practical obedience in the administration of everything that’s been entrusted to us.

As we administer His affairs under His constant authority.

God gave Adam and Eve “dominion” over creation (Genesis 1:28) but he also called them “caretakers.”

Psalm 24 tells us that everything belongs to God: “the world and those who dwell therein.” (v.1) Nothing we are given - whether money, responsibility, or talent - truly belongs to us. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above” (James 1:17).

We have a short period of time on this earth and will have to give an account of our stewardship. The Lord makes it plain to us what good stewardship looks like, and the consequences of poor stewardship.
