Matthew 25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 25:27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
The man who hid that which had been given to him protected it just as sinners protect the scriptures and speak of Him in feigned respect but the Lord does not give seed in expectation of receiving seed back to Him. He requires fruit born from the seed of His provision which requires and understanding of spiritual growth according to the law of the Spirit.
