Gifts of Joy and Grace/Clip #1/Romans 12:4-8

For as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; he who teaches, in his teaching; he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who contributes, in liberality; he who gives aid, with zeal; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness." RSV

*Special acknowledgment to all the ministries and people who have helped me learn about the seven gifts. Specifically, Dr. Roy Blizzard and the Institute in Basic Life Principles.

While the teaching of Spiritual Gifts is not new. This concept was highlighted to me through the material developed by the Institute in Basic Life Principles. In their booklet, "Understanding Spiritual Gifts" the IBLP Ministry asserted several years ago that the gifts listed in Romans 12:6-8 were more than a casual grouping of spiritual gifts, ministry gifts and other miscellaneous callings. In the sharing of the material, they saw the need for a “common denominator” that would bind these seven gifts together. The idea of personal motivation was suggested as that “common denominator”.

I am grateful for that insight as it became an encouragement to me to reflect and research deeper into the beautiful depths of the Scriptures.
