Continuing on:
1 Corinthians 1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Paul addressed the whole assembly of believers. They were zealous of spiritual gifts. Paul said it wasn't his intent diminish that zeal.
1 Corinthians 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
The problem is that they were a proud people. They were claiming gifts that they didn't have. They were too proud to realize they were all made different.
Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
You see, every member of the church has a purpose of their own. God gives us gifts to accomplish our purpose.
Heavenly Father, make us aware of the gifts you have given us. Help us to develop our talents to glorify you, edify the church, and be a light to unbelievers. In Jesus name, amen.
