TONGUES, THEY WILL BE STILLED / 1 CORINTHIANS 13:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 13:8  

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

TONGUES, THEY WILL BE STILLED / 1 CORINTHIANS 13:8

Spiritual gifts such as prophecy, tongues and knowledge will cease at the end of this age (following Christ’s return to earth and the final defeat of evil; Revelation 20). For now, these gifts represent what is partial or incomplete (1 Corinthians 13:9), but they will unnecessary “when perfection comes” (1 Corinthians 13:10), at the end of history. Then, the believer’s knowledge and character will become perfect in eternity with Christ (1 Corinthians 13:12; 1:7). Until then, we need the Holy Spirit and His gifts in our churches. There is no indication here or anywhere else in Scripture that the work of the Holy Spirit through His gifts would end at the end of the first-century era. The gifts of the Spirit have a place and meaning as much now as in the early church because Christians today need the same power, guidance and encouragement to live for Christ and accomplish His purposes in their generation.
