"Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal."
Today's quote clearly and simply states that God dispenses many talents and special gifts among those who belong to Him. Paul made it very clear herein that those talents and special gifts are backed by the power of the Holy Spirit and are all to be exercised in an effort to honor and glorify God. Those gifts and special talents are also to uplift and encourage the membership of the Church as well as to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ to all those who wish to learn it.
In the following lessons, Paul identifies some of those talents and how they are to be applied.
