Bible Question: what was the gifts God gave man?

Bible Answer: Greetings Lonnie Moss,

Here is a bit of commentary regarding this verse that may help you:

"Eph 4:7 -
But — Though “one” in our common connection with “one Lord, one faith, etc., one God,” yet “each one of us” has assigned to him his own particular gift, to be used for the good of the whole: none is overlooked; none therefore can be dispensed with for the edifying of the Church (Eph_4:12). A motive to unity (Eph_4:3). Translate, “Unto each one of us was the grace (which was bestowed by Christ at His ascension, Eph_4:8) given according to,” etc.
the measure — the amount “of the gift of Christ” (Rom_12:3, Rom_12:6)." (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary)

"Eph 4:7 - (5) But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the (f) gift of Christ.

(5) He teaches us that we indeed are all one body, and that all good gifts proceed from Christ alone, who reigns in heaven having mightily conquered all his enemies, from where he heaps all gifts upon his Church. But yet nonetheless these gifts are differently and variously divided according to his will and pleasure, and therefore every man ought to be content with that measure that God has given him, and to bestow it to the common profit of the whole body.

(f) Which Christ has given." (Geneva Bible Notes)

"Eph 4:7 -

unto: Eph_4:8-14; Mat_25:15; Rom_12:6-8; 1Co_12:8-11, 1Co_12:28-30

grace: Eph_3:8; 2Co_6:1; 1Pe_4:10

the measure: Eph_3:2; Joh_3:34; Rom_12:3; 2Co_10:13-15" (Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge)

Blessings to you,
