If trusting in #Jesus #Christ as your #Lord and #Savior only bestowed #eternal life on the #Believer that would be more than enough to make it worth our decision. But God did not stop there.

Only the Holy Spirit enables a person to say that Jesus is Lord. What will the true Christian never say? What role do each of the three figures of the Godhead play in the function of these gifts? For what purpose are we given these gifts? Later Paul will give a full list of the spiritual gifts, but here he lists the ones the Corinthians were struggling to handle.
