“First Corinthians 12 is but one of several passages that tell us God has given at least one spiritual gift to every single person whom He calls, which gift is to be used to build up the body of Christ. Whether the gift is encouragement, teaching, hospitality, discernment, or any of the host of other talents granted to the Lord’s people, there is no such thing as a believer who has no spiritual gift. This means that we are in sin if we do not use our gifts, for loving one another involves using our gifts to benefit others (I John 3:16-18). Pastor Jeremy encouraged each person at Legacy to look at their giftedness and where it may apply to build up the body of Christ. Let’s consider what each of us can do to carry out the great commission. May God bless us with His grace and mercy as we strive to fulfill this command.
