Good Morning “Spiritually Gifted”. Dig into 1 Corinthians 12 today.
At the time of salvation, we receive the Holy Spirit. “For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.” 1 Corinthians 12:13 NIV
We also receive Spiritual Gifts - manifestations of the Holy Spirit in us. We are given gifts specifically to serve within The Body. Spiritual Gifts vary, not everyone has the same gifts. As each one of us use our gifts to serve within the Body of Believers, the Body functions as a whole. Paul lists a few here, but more are listed other places in Scripture. Romans 12:6-8, Ephesians 4:11
Do you know your gifts? There are several online Spiritual Gift Surveys. Here’s a link to one you can print and fill out.

Our responsibility is to know and use our gifts and work to develop in areas we are not necessarily gifted. Let me give you an example. Not everyone has the gift of mercy, but we are all expected to “Be merciful.” Not everyone has the gift of evangelism, but we are all expected to “Go and make disciples.”
A body has many parts, that make up the whole. If one part isn’t working the body struggles.
There is nothing we have that we have not been given. Every opportunity, all of our talents, any wisdom or knowledge, our health and energy and yes our spiritual gifts all come from the Lord! For what purpose? Growing the kingdom… that’s it. Not for our glory but His!
Love you all! Dig in!
