Religion & Spirituality
Within the unity of Christ's church a diversity of spiritual gifts are given for each local church to function in carrying out the ministry as God so intends. Not all of the gifts or gifted people are given today since God is not giving new revelation. With the completion of the New Testament from God through those men He so gifted the church has the Word of God to function corporately and individuals to live lives of godliness. -An explanation is given of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection as the basis for Christ giving of the gifts to believers.- God has gifted individuals to be used corporately as He builds His church universally through the building up and equipping of local churches.
