Lesson 4

Section 4 — To Every Man According To His Ability

Introduction

Regardless of who you are, how many or few talents you may possess, or your station in life, you are responsible to God for the management and use of whatever “life” you possess. He does not expect from one individual the same achievements or use of life as he does from another. It is not merely what you have done with your life but how that compares with your potential. “`Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has done’” (Rev. 22:12, RSV ^{*Text credited to RSV is from the Revised Standard Version of the Bible.
