1 Peter 4:10 "As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace."
God has a specific purpose and ministry for every Christian. Our spiritual gifts help us to fulfill His plan. We learn which one (or ones) we possess by getting involved in the life of the church. In other words, a believer will know his divinely appointed abilities when he begins to exercise them.
Moreover, God has a general purpose for handing out spiritual gifts. Christians exercise their special skills for the common good (1 Corinthians 12:7). Everyone profits when believers do God’s work though the power of the Holy Spirit. We’re to use our gifts for equipping, edifying, and encouraging one another (Ephesians 4:11-13).
Every member of the Christian fellowship is important, and each one has a work to do. There are no excuses for bypassing God’s will. Where He has gifted us and opened doors of opportunity for ministry, He also provides the strength and courage to exercise our abilities.
