SPIRITUAL GIFT'S VOLUME 2
The Gracelets in 1st Corinthians

There are two separate listings of gracelets in 1st Corinthians 12 (12:8-10; 28). It is to the first that I draw your attention in this section. These nine may be divided into three sets of three; although this was probably not Paul's intention, it is useful as a teaching tool.

- The Gracelets of Discernment: The Eyes of God
- The Gracelets of Power: The Hand of God
- The Gracelets of Speech: The Mouth of God

The precise nature and function of some of these gifts listed are not clear from this text alone. Experience is crucial for understanding Biblical truth, whether it be conversion, discipleship, prayer or spiritual gifts. Experience opens windows into passages grounded overlooked or misunderstood. While the interpretation must ultimately be grounded in the text, practice of Biblical truths will illumine their meaning. Current manifestations of spiritual gifts, including their use and misuse, can aid our understanding of Paul's teaching. (Hummel, Fire in the Fireplace, P. 131). Remember, the experience of theology came before the writing of theology. I will follow an easy outline in discussing each of these sets.

The new age of the Spirit which is unveiled in the New Testament assures the availability of the gracelets to all. In the Old Testament the same gracelets were limited and in that part of His economy were apparently not available to all. However, the quality of the gracelets as demonstrated in certain Old Testament characters is not different in essence to the quality of the gracelets as seen in the New Testament. The quantity. however, is limited because the "fullness of time" had not arrived.
