Christians should use social media as a tool, not a master, by applying three core biblical principles: Stewardship of Time (Ephesians 5:15-16), Sanctification of Speech (Ephesians 4:29), and Mission (Matthew 5:16). The goal is to use digital platforms to glorify God, build up others, and shine the light of Christ through gracious, constructive engagement, while actively guarding against comparison, vanity, and time-wasting.

The Bible defines envy as rottenness to the bones (Proverbs 14:30), and the online world amplifies this sin by constantly presenting curated, comparison-bait content. Christians guard against comparison and envy by practicing gratitude (1 Thessalonians 5:18), focusing on their unique, God-given mission, and recognizing that their worth is not found in achievements but in their identity in Christ (Galatians 6:4-5).
