SPIRITUAL GIFTS: A STUDY OF GIFTS IN 1 CORINTHIANS 12-14
The Corinthians had received gifts from God, but they needed significant correction in their use of those gifts. Paul’s correction in chapters 12, 13, and 14 of 1 Corinthians provides immensely valuable teaching on the purpose of spiritual gifts, the oneness of Christ’s body, and our call to demonstrate love by seeking the welfare of others over our own interests. Paul’s instruction to the Corinthians can help us avoid divisions over the use of spiritual gifts today.
