Question: "Are we supposed to use musical instruments in church?

"

Answer: Musical instruments were definitely used in worship in the Old Testament (1
Chronicles 15:16; 16:42; 23:5; 2 Chronicles 7:6; 23:13; 29:26-27; 30:21; 34:12; Nehemiah
12:36; Isaiah 38:20;Amos 6:5; Habakkuk 3:19; see also the introductions to Psalm
4:1; 6:1; 54:1; 55:1; 61:1; 67:1;76:1). The fact that the New Testament nowhere
condemns musical instruments indicates that the Old Testament practice was
continued in the New Testament church. The early church was comprised almost
entirely of Jews. It is highly likely that they continued using musical instruments in the
church, just as they did in Old Testament worship.

So, even without an explicit New Testament reference, it is clear the church can use
musical instruments in its worship. However, there is a clear New Testament reference
to musical instruments. Ephesians 5:19 declares, "speaking to one another in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the
Lord." The phrase "making melody" comes from the Greek word "psallontes" which
means "to rub or touch," "to twitch or twang." It was commonly used in Greek to refer
to playing a stringed musical instrument. Whatever the case, the Bible neither forbids
or commands the use of musical instruments in church. Therefore, the church has
freedom to use them if it feels led of God to do so
