Bible Question: If God bless you with a gift and you dont use it will you loose it? |
Bible Answer: We could get into free-will issues involving this subject. However, I assume you are asking about spiritual gifts as mentioned in Young's Literal 1 Peter 4:10 "each, according as he received a gift, to one another ministering it, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;" The gifts are manifested by grace to us inside our faith in Christ. Inorder to do services for the Church and are listed in passsges such as(Rom 12:6-8; 1 Cor 12:4-11,28-30; compare Eph 4:7-12).I feel certain that the Lord's plan to build the body of Christ is predestinated according to Romans 8:27-31.What ever gifts we are graced comes through our faith in Christ and are indeed Christ's gifts. If we are not using the gifts, we are bearing faith without fruits. Which I don't think is faith at all according to James 2:14. So, I don't think we can loose gifts. I think with out a working faith; we never had any gifts to begin with. If we're called as an elect as in Rom CH 8 are faith is going to get the Lord's will done and thus, utilize all the differnt gifts he gave by grace. |
