       Let’s go ahead and turn to Romans chapter 12, and we’ll pick up in verse 4. We read the following from the Apostle Paul: “For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness” (Romans 12:4-8, ESV). So, here Paul mentions these gifts: prophecy, service, teaching, exhorting, contributing, leading, and showing mercy. Now, right off the bat, we should recognize that we as members of the body of Christ have been given different gifts, and so, we should not all be doing the same thing.
