Use Your Gift

1 Peter 4:10

“As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”

Everything we have (spiritual, temporal) is a gift from God. The exhortation here is share those gifts with the body, to distribute back what was given to us as good stewards to bless others.

The Truth

“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.” (Romans 12:6-8)
