Seeing
and
Showing
Christ
Romans 12:3-8
Repent of proudly not loving Christ deeply, not thinking rightly, and not obeying fully about Spiritual Gifts.

Rejoice that God has so designed to show Christ to others through you and Christ to you through others.

Recommit to rightly understanding Spiritual Gifts.

Reconsider the way you are serving Christ and others with your Spiritual Gifts through the lenses of
1 Corinthians 13:1-8.
