Using your Spiritual Gifts
Got gifts? The Bible is clear that each believer has spiritual gifts and that these gifts must be used in order for God to make each local church a ‘Jesus image’ factory. I say this because according to Ephesians 4:12-14 Jesus gave His Church spiritual gifts to bring about a great result in the lives of His followers. Look at we are missing out on if you are not using your spiritual gifts:
1. The equipping of the saints for the work of service,
2. The building up of the body of Christ until we all attain to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.
3. The maturing of believers so that we are no longer tossed here and there as waves carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming.
So remember gifts do a body good. Won’t you commit to discovering and developing your spiritual gifts at Grace so that this local church can be an effective “Jesus image” factory.
