Gifts Given and Controlled by God

1 Corinthians 12:1-11 discusses the spiritual gifts bestowed upon believers, particularly focusing on the gifts of healing and miracles performed by the Lord Jesus and His disciples. It emphasizes that these miracles served as divine validations of the incomplete Word of God at that time. The narrative highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in manifesting these healings through individuals, illustrating that such acts were intended to demonstrate the reality of the Gospel—specifically the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This evidence of the miraculous workings aimed to affirm that salvation is through faith, reaching out to every individual and affirming their need for it.
