Spiritual Gifts Introduction

The gifts in Romans & 1 Corinthians

Spiritual gifts produce a different life

Spiritual gifts – Boots on the ground

Spiritual gifts – You have one!

Qs:

Do you know your spiritual gift?

How are you using your spiritual gift?

Memorize this-

1 Corinthians 12:18–20
 But as it is, God arranged the members in the body,
each one of them, as he chose.
If all were a single member, where would the body be?
As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.

By his work of saving grace (which in other discourses we have given a large account of), he makes all the elect living stones; and by his communication of spiritual gifts, he fashions and builds those stones into a temple for the living God to dwell in. He spiritually unites them into one mystical body, under the Lord Christ as a head of influence, by faith and love; and he unites them into an organical body, under the Lord Christ as a head of rule, by gifts and spiritual abilities. Their nature is made one and the same by grace, their use is various by gifts. Every one is a part of the body of Christ, of the essence of it, by the same quickening, animating Spirit of grace; but one is an eye, another a hand, another a foot, in the body, by virtue of peculiar gifts: for “unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ,” Eph. 4:7
