Number and Kind of Gifts

Number and Kind of Gifts

Romans 12:3-8 


3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. 


4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 


5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 


6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 


7 If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 


8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.


Hebrews 2:4 


God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.


1 Peter 4:10-11 


10 Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 


11 If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
The duty of every Christian concerning Spiritual gifts


1 Corinthians 1:7 


Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.


1 Corinthians 4:1 


So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God.


1 Corinthians 4:12 


We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;


1 Corinthians 14:20 


Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.


1 Corinthians 14:37-40 


37 If anybody thinks he is a prophet or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command. 


38 If he ignores this, he himself will be ignored.


39 Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 


40 But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.
