Sunday: Varieties of Gifts
Daily Lesson for Sunday 2nd of August 2026
In 1 Corinthians 12:1, Paul introduces a new topic with the formula “now concerning.” Scholars discuss whether he is talking about “spiritual gifts” or “spiritual people” because the Greek phrase tōn pneumatikōn allows both interpretations. “Spiritual gifts” is preferable in light of 1 Corinthians 12:4, where Paul clearly refers to spiritual gifts. In 1 Corinthians 12:2-3, Paul points out that the Spirit’s first gift is the bold confession that Jesus is Lord. In New Testament times, to say that Jesus is Lord is to say that Caesar is not (Acts 17:7; also John 19:12,15). This was seen as sedition against the imperial power and, hence, was punishable by death.

Jesus and Paul emphasized that faith in God—even in the face of persecution and the threat of death—is a gift of the Spirit. Actually, faith is the most basic gift. Not surprisingly, faith is first on the list in 1 Corinthians 13:13. That faith is a spiritual gift is clear by Paul’s statement in 1 Corinthians 12:9. However, there are many other gifts. The fact that the Holy Spirit distributes the different types of gifts “to each one individually as He wills” (1 Corinthians 12:11, NKJV) proves that all of them are necessary.
Read 1 Corinthians 12:1-6. What is the emphasis of this passage?
The repetition of “varieties” emphasizes the multiplicity of gifts. What Paul names as “spiritual gifts” in 1 Corinthians 12:1 is developed in verses 4–6, through three different angles: “gifts” (charisma), “services” or “ministries” (diakonia), and “activities” (energēma). Although these words mean different things, it is important not to draw a fine distinction between them because of the parallelism of the passage. One should also notice that the spiritual gifts are designed to promote unity based on the triune character of God (see also Ephesians 4:8-11). While the Spirit grants gifts to believers, it is God who empowers them to serve Christ in the community of believers (1 Corinthians 12:5-6). Each believer is granted gifts individually (1 Corinthians 12:11), but they all are to benefit the community of believers as a whole.

Notice again Paul’s emphasis on unity. Why is this so important to the church? |

EDITORIAL: The Pioneers Didn’t Need Permission. Neither Do We.
The Adventist movement began with people willing to ask hard questions. Our pioneers believed God was still leading. They searched Scripture, challenged assumptions, followed truth wherever it led, and stayed open to new light. That spirit of curiosity and courage shaped the global movement we know today. It survives because people like you still champion […] Source: https://atoday.org/editorial-the-pioneers-didnt-need-permission-neither-do-we-2/
