The Doctrine of Spiritual Gifts

Point 4.
Developing the capacity you need to function effectively in your spiritual gift.

Am I growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

The fruit is the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, which manifests itself in loving one another as He has loved us, JOH 15:5-17.

It is by going through trials and difficulties, being cut back, redirected, that we find ourselves living the life that God has prepared for us.

The greatest advances in the spiritual life are made through the barrage of suffering.

Certain things they have come to possess of great spiritual value have come out of some dark and desperate and terrible experience in their own life.

By the grace of God, we owe so much of our spiritual measure of increase to the suffering through which the Lord enabled us to go.

The Lord wants to bring us to the inside of what it is that we are to inherit.

He wants it to be part of us.

Nevertheless, at the end of it all, you have suffered , and you have labored, and you have fought the good fight.

Something becomes ours through suffering on account of it.

Anything that you have suffered for becomes very precious to you.

EPH 5:25

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,

HEB 5:8

Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.
