1 Timothy 4:4-5 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.
God created nothing for bad. It was all created to serve His glory as such it was sanctified by Him. With prayer then, we should use everything for its intended purpose – good
I just did a sermon based on what Proverbs has to say about the "evil" alcohol. My study of Scripture revealed that it has value (including water purification and medicinal purposes) even for the Christian when used properly; not when it's used as an intoxicant>
That same principle should be applied to everything He created – everything.
And that would include us. As I was just reading that verse I was thinking: the same thing applies to us. We were created my God. We were not our own idea and as such doesn't this verse apply to us?
