10-The Priesthood of All Believers in Action

Scripture is rich on the subject of the priesthood of all believers.1
I start with what we have already seen from Romans. Having
spoken of the believer's 'spiritual worship', Paul, with no delay,
raised the practical application of the priesthood which all
believers have in Christ:
For as we have many members in one body, but all members do
not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in
Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then
gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us
use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith;
or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in
teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives... I... am
confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of
goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one
another (Rom. 12:3-8; 15:14).
