The New Life in Christ: The purpose of receiving Spiritual gifts from God.

Each man has his own gift from God; one has his gift, another has that. 1Corinthians 7:7.

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. 1Corinthians 12:4-11.

And Christ gave gifts to people to prepare God’s holy people for the work of serving, to make the body of Christ stronger.

We must become like a mature person, growing until we become like Christ and have his perfection.

We will not be influenced by every new teaching we hear from people who are trying to fool us. They make plans and try any kind of trick to fool people into following the wrong path. Ephesians 4:11-14.

Each person should judge his own actions and not compare himself with others. Galatians 6:4.
