Invention

0 scripture references — Nave's Topical Bible

Overview

While Scripture doesn't directly address modern invention, biblical principles of stewardship, wisdom, and dominion apply to how believers develop and use new technologies. God grants humanity creative capacity as bearers of His image, and inventions should reflect His character and serve others righteously.

Key Scriptures

"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork" (Psalm 19:1, ESV). "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving" (Colossians 3:23, NIV). "The wise store up knowledge" (Proverbs 10:14a, NIV).

Application

Pursue creative endeavors and innovations with the goal of glorifying God, benefiting others, and exercising faithful stewardship over the gifts and opportunities He provides.
