God gives us the ability to minister for the purposes of which of the following?

• A. Using that ability
• B. Glorifying God
• C. Spreading the Gospel
• D. Serving others

Answer: (B)

The purpose behind God giving abilities to minister is to glorify Him. When we use the gifts He provides, the driving aim is to honor and reflect who He is, to praise Him, and to point others toward Him. This overarching motive shapes everything we do in ministry.

Spreading the Gospel and serving others are important expressions that flow from glorifying God. When our gifts are used to honor Him, sharing the good news and meeting needs become ways to showcase His character and bring Him praise. At the same time, using the ability itself is best understood as the means God uses to accomplish that higher end, not the end in itself.

Scripture supports this: do all to the glory of God, and use the strength God provides so that in everything God may be glorified. So the best answer is glorifying God.
