EVERY SPIRITUAL GIFT YOU NEED

Today's reading: 1 Corinthians 1-2

"Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 1:7 NLT

If you have been saved. 

Born again by the power of Jesus' blood.

If you have asked for and received God's gift of salvation.

Freed from the bondage of sin.

Then you, yes, you, have every spiritual gift you need to live for Christ and love others as He has called you to do.

It's not a matter of being a Christian long enough. Or have taken the right Bible study classes. Or own the correct translation of the Bible.

It's not even a matter of the right church. The correct age. The godly legacy you bring to the table.

It's about the power of God in you.

Given to you when you sought Him.

Provided to you by His purchase on the Cross.

Instilled in you when you prayed the prayer of salvation.

So live! 

For Him. Through Him. With Him. Honoring Him. Continually seeking Him. Growing more and more like Him. Drawing others to Him.
