First of all this verse is not talking about your spiritual gifts if that is what you are refering to. Rather it is speaking of the gifts of salvation, mercy, and grace. Please read the verse in context to see this. Further, from my understanding, a gift will not be taken back by God. However, if a gift is not used by us, it may seem to be lost in our own minds/hearts. For example, if a friend of mine gives me a chainsaw as a gift, I then posses it - it is mine to keep. However, if I just put it away in my garage never to be used, I still own it but I am not using it. I may at some point try to look for it under the rubble, tune it up and then may try to use it or I may never look for it again and may even forget that I have it. The choice is mine will I use the gift or will I let it hide under the ruble and rust. |
