There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them

1 Corinthians 12:1-11

Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.

All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

In contemporary religions, trances or strange, ecstatic speech showed a person's spiritual status. It was therefore not surprising that the Christian church at Corinth, to whom God gave a variety of gifts by his Holy Spirit.

Why?

No one can boast of his gifts, No one can praise his capability, all of these are gifts from God, the Holy Spirit, the Christ.

We are a family of Jesus and the Lord. So we have to love each other and respect each other.

It is like and body and our hands, feet, eyes, and mouth...all have their function.

講屬靈的恩賜

寧可求恩賜來造就教會,聖靈還是隔著聖靈的主權、計劃賞賜各樣恩賜給各人。和人的條件能力都沒有關係。

恩賜各有不同,先知最重要工作是勸人悔改,責備人的工作,反而主要不是預言!愈有恩賜愈要小心,很容易驕傲。

How?

Be humble and love others from the heart, for the Lord loves me and everyone. What I can do is the gift of the Holy Spirit.
