In God’s design, the local church matures as individuals exercise their gifts for the good of the whole. In this message from Romans 12, Alistair Begg points out that the encouragement to use our gifts comes with a necessary warning to avoid pride. We must use whatever gifts God has given us in humility so that the church will be built up to the glory of God.
3For fby the grace given to me I say to everyone among you gnot to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, heach according to ithe measure of faith that God has assigned. 4For jas in one body we have many members,5 and the members do not all have the same function, 5so we, kthough many, lare one body in Christ, and individually mmembers one of another. 6nHaving gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if oprophecy, pin proportion to our faith; 7if qservice, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; rthe one who leads,6 with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with scheerfulness.
