HIGHLIGHT: Every Christian has a spiritual gift: When we were born physically we possessed certain natural abilities. When we were born again spiritually, born into the Family of God, we find that we received certain spiritual abilities as a member of the Body of Christ.
“So we being many are one body in Christ and everyone members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that was given us…” Romans 12:5 & 6 Joy comes in exercising our gift:
The root word for gift is “charisma”. This comes from the word “char” which means joy. “Charis” is the word for grace, which involves God giving us the desire, and power to accomplish His will. (Phil. 2:13)
Finding personal fulfillment and making your call and election sure is only possible by developing our spiritual gift: Each of us has a desire for meaningful achievement. The ultimate of this is having a significant part in a divine program.
This divine program is being carried through the Body of Christ by the proper functioning of each person’s gift. Each gift is designed to unify and bring to maturity the Body of Christ: Just as there are varying functions in the members of our body, so each Christian has a particular and necessary (vital) function in the Body of Christ.
God wants each of us to understand our gift: If we are to concentrate on our gift as instructed in Romans 12, we must first understand what that gift is. Also, if we are to have harmony with others within the Body of Christ, we must understand what their particular functions are. When we know and understand the spiritual gifting of others and recognize their indispensable place in the Body of Christ, we move toward true unity, harmony and growth to maturity. .
