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.
