*The Greatest Gift of All*
Sunday 2~/18~/07 p.m.
1 Corinthians 13
*I.
The List of Gifts: 12:8-10, Romans 12:6-8, Ephesians 4:11*
The list here includes 9 gifts.
Add another 7 from other scriptures, and subtract the temporary gifts (asterisk ~*), your final total is 12.
*(1)* *Wisdom *refers to insight into doctrinal truth.
*(2)* *Knowledge *refers to the ability to apply doctrinal truth to life.
*(3) Faith *as a spiritual gift is probably an unusual measure of trust in God beyond that exercised by most Christians (e.g., 13:2).
*~*(4) Healing *is the ability to restore health (e.g., Acts 3:7; 19:12) and also to hold off death itself temporarily (Acts 9:40; 20:9-10).
*~*(5)* *Miracles empowers *me with the ability to exorcise demons (Acts 19:11-12) or inducing physical disability (Acts 13:11) or even death (Acts 5:5, 9).
*(6)* *Prophecy *is the ability, like that of the Old Testament prophets, to declare a message of God for His people (1 Cor.
14:3).
*(7)* *Ability to distinguish between spirits *is the gift to differentiate the Word of God proclaimed by a true prophet from that of a satanic deceiver (cf. 2 Cor.
11:14-15; 1 John 4:1).
If the Corinthians possessed this gift (cf. 1 Cor.
1:7), it was not being put to good use (cf.
12:1-3).
The discernment gifts are also given to those with the ability to give wise counsel.
*~*(8)* *Tongues *refers to the ability to speak an unlearned, living language
(see Acts 2:11).
*~*(9)* *Interpretation of tongues *was the ability to translate an unlearned, known language expressed in the assembly (1 Cor.
14:27).
*/Ephesians 4:11 adds three more;/*
*(10)* Evangelist is the ability to see salvations, either individually or in mass;
*(11)* Pastor is the ability to shepherd and lead God’s people;
*(12)* Teacher is the ability to impart knowledge.
*/Romans 12:6-8 adds 4 more/*
*(13)* Exhortation is the ability to build up and encourage someone;
*(14)* Giving is the ability and means to meet needs;
*(15)* Ruling or Administration is the ability to lead, guide, direct and administrate God’s people;
*(16)* Mercy is the ability to show mercy where others struggle to naturally.

*V.
Is Love Alone Enough? 1 Cor.
13:12*
.
*1. *The contrast between the imperfect time in which he then wrote and the perfect time which awaited him and the church when the partial reflection of the present would give way to the splendor of perfect vision.
*2. *Then Paul would *see *God (cf.
15:28; 1 John 3:2) as God now saw Paul.
*3. *Then partial knowledge (cf. 1 Cor.
8:1-3) would be displaced by the perfect knowledge of God.
*VI.
Are Faith and Hope as Eternal as Love? 1 Cor.
13:13*
#.
Faith is an expression of love (the word “trusts,” /pisteuei, /v. 7, is the verb form of the noun “faith,” /pistis/), as is hope (cf.
Gal.
5:5-6).
#.
Faith and hope, as manifestations of love, will endure eternally.
#.
So too everyone who follows the way of love (1 Cor.
14:1) finds “the most excellent way” (12:31b), because every individual characterized by love carries that mark eternally.
#.
The spiritual gifts will one day cease to exist, but love will endure forever.
