Day 1 1 Corinthians 12, talks about spiritual gifts, which are distributed by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4). One Christian may receive one type of gift while another receives a different gift. Each gift is distributed to each Believer for the good of everyone. Each Believer brings their gifting and folds it into every other gift and it becomes ONE gift, the Church. Chapter 13 goes one step further and mentions the three gifts that are common for all Christians: faith, hope and love. Verse 13 says, “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” In stating that faith, hope and love remain, Paul does something interesting and unexpected: he uses a singular verb for a compound (and therefore plural) subject. His statement in 1 Corinthians 13:13 could be literally rendered “faith, hope and love remains.” Paul’s point is that, essentially, faith, hope and love are united; what happens to one happens to all. And what happens is that they “remain.” Does ‘this gift’ identify you? #247daily
