Bible Question: insight on Romans 12:5-9 wanted |
Bible Answer: Hi, This passage refers to God's gifts to members of His church through The Holy Spirit because each of us have a different function in the church. Each receives gifts in accordance with God's purpose and love. These include speaking in the power of the Spirit (prophecy), the comparative success of which will depend on faith, teaching with the guidance of the Spirit, exhorting and encouraging others, serving the church or others in differing ways through the Spirit, Christian giving which is to be done liberally, helping others which is to be done zealously, performing acts of compassion, which is to be done cheerfully, and so on. The important thing in each case is that the heart is in it. It is to be done for Christ in genuine love. Best wishes jonp |
