1 Cor 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware. ___ God does not want us "unaware" about "spiritual gifts." Oh! Isn't that wonderful? God does not want us unaware about spiritusl gifts. Thanks be to Him. So, if He does not wnat us to be unaware, then we should be knowledgeable right? Oh! Glory to God for His word where He teaches us what His will is! |

2 | God does not want us "unaware." | 1 Cor 12:1 | Searcher56 | 219262 | ||
God's day to you, teacher@earthsalvation.com, and welcome to the SBF, I am so thankful it is not I who chooses or even asks ... "But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just AS He WILLS" (1 Cor 12:11) ... then in verse 18 "But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just AS HE DESIRED" ... yes I can desire the greater gifts (vs 31). Is that the order of the list in verse 28, or love is the next chapter? Searcher |

Thank you Searcher for your wondurful words. God surely loves you! Now let's take a look at the scriptures you refer to: ______________ 1 Cor 12:28 And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. 1 Cor 12:29 All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they? 1 Cor 12:30 All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they? 1 Cor 12:31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way. ____________ Two things: 1. God in verse 28 is clearly laying out an order, a hierarchy of gifts. 2. In verse 31 He is going to show us a "more excellent way." Further: He is showing us a still better way, and that is the way of Love! Good question Searcher! God Bless You |
