Responsibility

“For each will have to bear his own load.” (Gal. 6:5 ESV)

Responsibility: the quality or state of being responsible: such as moral, legal, or mental accountability; dependability, reliability, solidness, sureness, trustability, trustworthiness

To be irresponsible is to deny your faith

“But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” (1 Tim. 5:8 ESV)

To be responsible is to be mature in your ways

“When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.” (1 Cor. 13:11 ESV)

To be responsible is to use your gifts

“Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.” (Rom. 12:6-8 ESV)

To be responsible is to do what you know is right

“So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.” (James 4:17 ESV)
