This week in Sunday Fellowship we discuss 1 Corinthians chapter 6, where Apostle Paul makes many powerful, unbelievable, yet misunderstood statements.

1Co 1:7 so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Despite all the gifts in full demonstration, they were a “flesh bound” body of believers! Many of them fell into Satan’s trap of living in their “original flesh identity,” using Spiritual gifts with the works of man-made religion. They were deceived, as many are today, that having signs, wonders and miracles demonstrates Spiritual maturity.  Sadly, gifts does not reveal that at all!

Spiritual gifts minister to the “outer man” only.  They provide comfort to the body and soul identity and needs! Let me be clear, because many still believe “Spiritual gifts,” including signs, wonders and miracles are for today.  I agree 100% with that assessment, but in no way do these gifts produce Spiritual maturity in those who use them!  Concerning the subject of Spiritual gifts – no gift has any eternal value, eternal life, and is void of any power to produce salvation or Spiritual birth.  Of course we must acknowledge the Holy Spirit can use the witness of these gifts to bring some to receive and believe on Christ for their salvation.

Paul will cover a lot of ground in this chapter dealing with many of the Corinthians still living in their original flesh identity.  They were a Spiritual immature body with lack of Spiritual identity! So, let’s talk about it…
