Bible Question: What are the spiritual gifts of "word of wisdom" and "word of knowledge?" How do they differ? And how are they to be used or practised within the church? |
Bible Answer: Dear RWC, JVH0212 gave a good definition. Practical application of these gifts could be 1) in the preached word, or sermon, to reveal wisdom and truth to the congregation. 2) in holy counsel, to give encouragement and direction to those seeking God's personal counsel through His chosen vessel. 3) in our witness to the saved and unsaved, to know what to say at the appropriate time, in order to glorify God. These would assume that God is now active via His Spirit, working in His people, which I believe. On a side note, the use of these to 'Wow' folks and impress others is not proper, or in keeping with the blessed nature of these holy gifts. This is not an exhaustive representation, just an outline. In Christ Jesus, charis |
