The Gifts of the Holy Spirit: - Vital Christianity

33
VARIETY OF GIFTS
“The gifts of grace appear like a spectrum; each colour may be distinguished from
others as distinctively violet, blue, indigo, etc. in the centre, but merges into the
adjacent colours at the edges. Each gift has its own distinctive purpose, but
overlaps with neighboring gifts. No individual displays the whole spectrum of
the gifts of God’s manifold grace (though Paul must have approached close to it),
but one individual might possess several related gifts. 12
Everyone has some gift, therefore all should be encouraged. No one has all the
gifts, therefore all should be humble. All gifts are for the one body, therefore all
should be harmonious. All gifts are from the Lord, therefore all should be content.” 13
