Romans 12:7b-8 Spiritual Gifts: Teaching, Exhortation, Giving, Leading, Mercy + PDF

In Old Testament days, God gave those who built the tabernacle supernatural abilities for its construction: masonry, metal-working, carpentry, tailoring, engravers, weaving, etc. (Ex 35:30-36:1). He also stirred up people to give silver, gold, special woods, linen and leather (Ex 35:29). According to the New Testament, we ourselves are living stones built together into a spiritual temple with Jesus as the cornerstone. Along with being born-again comes a spiritual gift for service to help other people, building up God’s spiritual house. This gift is a supernatural ability for service.
