Do I Have Anything to Offer?
Read 1 Corinthians 9:22-23
Today’s Truth
Each of us has a unique ability. For instance, some are blessed with the ability to write. And within the field of writing, a special “something” sets each writer apart from another.
Paul, the writer of 1 Corinthians, had the ability to preach. In 1 Corinthians 9:20-23, we see his special “something” in his ability to relate to the people he’s trying to reach.
Just like God put people in our path to reach us, He gives us talents and abilities that allow us to interact with specific people who need to know Him. The gift of salvation through Jesus is so incredible, it compels us to share the Gospel with others.
Discussion Questions
- What is your gift?
- Are you using your gift to the best of your ability to reach people far from God? If not, what next step can you take to start using your gift?
Application
God wants us to use our gifts for good. Most importantly, He wants us to use all the ability we have been given to share the Gospel with as many people as possible. We voluntarily use our gifts because seeing people meet Jesus is the best reward we can receive.
The gift we have isn’t a mistake — it is specially designed for us to use to reach people far from God in the unique circumstances of our lives.
