Bible Question:
1 cor. chap.12 verse 8 and 9 Concerning gifts by the sprit of wisdom and Knowledge, are these gifts for use by christians to be used in this world thru business, family, friends, and knowing how to cope with life Who could receive the gift of knowledge and wisdom? |
Bible Answer: Hi Houston: Welcome to the forum! The short answer is yes. Certainly these gifts are useful in all aspects of life and especially as a believer in Christ. But, these should not taken lightly! If you truly want to be of service, do then pray and ask, but these gifts will come with a price! The verse above may seem severe, and not in context, but perspective may be gained, also look at (Eccl 1:16-18) and; Solomon with all his wisdom and knowledge sums up chapter three with a good peace of advice! Eccl 3:22a "I have seen that nothing is better than that man should be happy in his activities, for that is his lot." I am not advising against it, but I would strongly advise to read all of Ecclesiastes, before I would pray and seek for wisdom and knowledge. God bless John |
