As members of the body of Christ, we must realize that the Holy Spirit is the great equalizer. Each of us is gifted by the Holy Spirit for the “profit of all” (v.7, NKJV), “distributing to each one individually as He wills” (v.11, NKJV). With that knowledge, there should be no envy or strife among us. All the gifts are given to build up the body of Christ. Do not be content to come to church weekly, listen to the sermon, and then go home. How are you using your gift(s) to benefit the whole body? The list in this text is not exhaustive, but is a good starting point. What is your gift and how are you using it?
