Freely Ye Have Received, Freely Give (Matthew 10:8)

2025-07-23

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. (Matthew 10:8)

This command was given by the Lord to the Twelve. However, the last clause is much applicable to everyone today. Everything that we have came from Him. We can’t boast of it as if we acquired it of our own. And since everything we have comes from Him, they are His and to be used for His purposes. This applies to possessions and skills and experience in this life. He freely gave it; therefore, we freely pass it on to others for their enlightenment and edification.
