Matthew 25:27 (a) The Lord gives to His children and to His servants certain gifts and talents. He expects these to be put into use so that they will increase in value and in quantity. It is this increase that is termed "usury." Many gifts are given to Christians, and they should be used for the glory of GOD in the lives of others. (See also Luke 19:23).
