Gifts, Fruit, and Calling

Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:1-14

 

Devotional: The Spirit gives gifts not for personal glory but for the common good of the body. You have at least one spiritual gift—a supernatural enablement that goes beyond natural talent. These gifts aren't optional extras; they're essential tools for building up the church and reaching the lost. But gifts without fruit are empty. The fruit of the Spirit—the character of Christ formed in you—validates and empowers your gifts. Together, they fulfill your calling: God's divine invitation to embrace salvation and serve His kingdom. Today, reflect on your spiritual gifts. Are you using them to serve others? Is the fruit of the Spirit evident in how you exercise those gifts? Don't hide what God has given you. Step into your calling with confidence, knowing He equips those He calls.
