21. One Body, One Spirit

The apostle Paul’s concern in 1 Corinthians is unity. The believers there were increasingly divided over the use of supernatural gifts and were lining up behind the leader that represented their preferences. It was then very much as it is now in modern America! So Paul’s correction to Corinth is relevant today, reminding us that the gifts are not about us but are for the body of Christ and the glory of God. This passage shows three initiatives of God: 1) He gives us gifts; 2) He empowers us to serve and; 3) He produces the results. So whatever gift God has given you, use it to build up the church for the glory of God!
