YOU DO NOT LACK ANY SPIRITUAL GIFT – WAIT FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO BE REVEALED / 1 CORINTHIANS 1:7

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 1:7

 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Paul expresses gratitude and praise to the Corinthian church because God, in His grace (undeserved favor, love, enablement, 1 Corinthians 1:4), has given them specific spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12-14). These gifts are special abilities given through the Holy Spirit that allow individuals to serve the needs of the church in a way that honors God and benefits those within the congregation. God is always faithful to place within the devoted church congregation exactly what it needs to fulfill His purposes for the church at any given time. Notice that in all of Paul’s instruction about spiritual gifts addressed in this letter, nowhere does he try to eliminate or discourage the use of these gifts. Instead, he attempts to change the Corinthians’ attitudes toward spiritual gifts so they may use them as God desires.

The early Christians lived with great expectation of Christ’s immediate return (Matthew 24:42; John 14:3). They lived in constant anticipation of this great hope. Notice that the Christian’s hope is for the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ, not for the general events that will occur during the last days (1 Thessalonians 1:9-10; 4:13-17; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 9:28).
