Men forget that gifts without grace save no one’s soul, and are the characteristics of Satan himself.
J. C. Ryle
If I should pray for all of the spiritual gifts listed in Paul’s epistles and the Spirit of God should see fit to give me all seventeen, it would be extremely dangerous for me if, in the giving, God did not give Himself, as well.4
A. W. Tozer
Second, the gifts are given to each Christian—that is, everyone has at least one gift—and for that reason, the church is only fully vigorous and healthy when all are ministering.
James Montgomery Boice
Spirit-directed giving is depending only on the Spirit of God to direct the gifts in the case of every person, and then being willing to abide by the results of this confidence and trust.
Lewis Sperry Chafer
“Salvation is promised to those who have the graces of the Spirit but not to those who have merely the extraordinary gifts. Many have these last, and yet go to hell.”
