Holy Spirit Part 6

On Wednesdays, we try to reflect and appreciate the Charismatic Brothers and Sisters in Christ that are share our life in the Kingdom of God.  They have such a focus on the Spirit and life within the Spirit that the rest of the Kingdom Believers can really appreciate and be pulled by.  The gifts are given to every Believer, it is the matter most often of discovering and developing these gifts within us so that we can deploy them into Building up the Body of Christ (The Church).  Read the following for more on these gifts of the Spirit:

Gifts, the corporate growth of the believer…

     Now that we have become Christians, receiving the Holy Spirit, would we all look alike?  The church is unified in its desire to become holy, each individual submitting to the one Spirit, yet diverse in living this out.  As we seek the will of God in our lives, we look to answer the question, in what capacity do we best serve the Church?  The answer to that question is in our ‘spiritual gift(s)’.  The four lists of the gifts we find in the Bible are: Rom. 12:3-8, I Cor. 12, Eph. 4:7-12, I Peter 4:10,11.  Note that the lists of gifts given are not inclusive, but exclusive, that is, they are not exhaustive. 

     The context found around the list in Rom. 12 shows us how we should examine any spiritual gift we may receive.  This context is the purpose of all life, which is to worship God.  The Greek root word of worship here is the same root word in Greek for service, λατρεία (latreia) which is ‘sacrifice’.  It is in sacrifice, that God has empowered us as believers to impact His Kingdom through our service, working out of our spiritual gift, bringing ultimately glory to Him, this is our true act of worship.   

As stated in the 4^th point in the EFCA Doctrinal Statement, the work of the Holy Spirit is something we must pursue every moment of every day to live life fully:

I BELIEVE THAT THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS TO GLORIFY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND DURING THIS AGE TO CONVICT MEN, REGENERATE THE BELIEVING SINNER, INDWELL, GUIDE, INSTRUCT AND EMPOWER THE BELIEVER FOR GODLY LIVING AND SERVICE.
