Gifts, Talents, And Abilities

Romans 12:3  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Born again believers are saved by grace. We are washed in the same blood. We are headed to the same Heaven. We sing the same song. You or I will never be better than any other believer.

1 Corinthians 15:10  But by the grace of God I am what I am.

If you and I are living the right kind of lives for Jesus,  we’ll never be any more or any less than God intends us to be. Whatever gifts, talents and abilities we have were not given to us so we might be exalted.

Our gifts and talents should always  honor Jesus and glorify the Father. God's grace equalizes us--- one with the other. God decides what we do and to what extent we do it. Therefore, He leaves us no room for pride.
