6. What insight did you gain?
You were created with a purpose. You are given as a gift to you brothers and sisters. God has given each
believer a combination of opportunities and fits that is perfectly suited to his or her situation in life. Every
Christian is really a minister with a unique contribution to make the body of Christ. The central thrust of
your ministry depends on the spiritual gifts you have received.
Gifts are God’s spiritual equipment for effective service a edification of the body. They are not bestowed
for the self-aggrandizement of the recipient , or as an evidence of a special endowment of the Spirit, but
for the profit and edification of the Body of Christ. The possessor is only the instrument and not the
receiver of the glory (J. Oswald Sanders). Gifts were given “so that in all things God may be glorified
through Jesus Christ” (1 Pet. 4:11).
1. Service (Rom. 12:7) - the ability to identify and care for the physical needs of the body through a
variety of means. The Greek word for this gift is the same as that for the “ministry” or “deacon”
but the gift should not be confused with the office.
2. Giving (Rom. 12:8) – the ability to contribute material resources with generosity and cheerfulness
for the benefit of others and the glory of God. Christians with this spiritual gift need not be
wealthy.
