The Purpose of Gifts
1Peter 4:10-11
Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit gives us gifts. These gifts include the ability to teach, the ability to lead, and the ability to speak. Some have the gift of making money. Others are given the ability to comfort others in need. And there are many other gifts of the Spirit.
We are called to serve others with the gifts that we've been given. We use these gifts to build each other up in the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-12). Everything we do with our gifts must serve the purpose for which they were given. That purpose is to bring glory to God.
Do all that we can with all we've been given and give all the glory to God.
For God's glory,
Lon
