Text: 1 Corinthians 12:11
THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE TRIUNE GODHEAD
The Triune Godhead is involved in the administration of gifts. The following texts bear up this truth.
1. The role of God the Father
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and comes down from the Father of lights,
with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”
James 1:17
2. The role of the Lord Jesus Christ
“But to each one of us grace was given
according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
Therefore He says,
‘When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive,
and gave gifts to men.'”
Ephesians 4:7-8
3. The role of the Holy Spirit
“But one and the same Spirit works all these things,
distributing to each one individually as He wills.”
1 Corinthians 12:11
FOCUS ON THE ROLE OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD
The Apostle Paul focused his attention on the role of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12 because of the misunderstanding of many in Corinth.
