IBS 33 - Body of Christ
IBS 33 (UNITY)
Romans 12:6
As a Christian we present our bodies a living sacrifice and become part of the body of Christ. We are all dealt a measure of faith as we become a member of the body of Christ, no function is greater than another. All members of the body of Christ are individually members to one another, being that all members do not have the same function. The way we function in the body of Christ is according to the gifts God gracefully gave us. I want to focus on three of these gifts and look over the details of how they each become members of each other.
The three gifts I wanted to use for example of are missionary, evangelist, teacher. First is the missionary, one who is led by God to travel outside of his community to reach other parts of the world. This gift requires the interest of other cultures and allows the servant to be aware of risk factors. Second is the evangelist, one who shares the power of God in his life in a clear, and honest testimony to lead others in receiving Christ as their savior. This gift requires talent with words, he is Gods spokesman. The third is the Teacher, one who continues to led the unity of Christ in the living word. This gift requires patience in ones studying of the word to break down scripture in the manner of serving it to all to retain, from disciples in training, to new believers; and to the children and youth of the congregation. All of these gifts apply in a number of ways as members to each other. The missionary creates a foundation for the evangelist and teacher to work from, from being safe to providing cultural connections. The evangelist see to it that the missionary's work is fulfilled with lives receiving salvation; and see to it that the teacher has students to teach. The teacher provides education and spiritual growth to young disciples that will most certainly find their spiritual gifts, some of those being missionary and evangelist.
To apply this to my life today I will reach out to one of my brothers, in asking what they think their spiritual gift is, and seeing how the spiritual gift I may have members to that of the one they have.
