1 | 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 |
