Spiritual Gifts Part 294:

What you have suffered for BELONGS to you.

The Doctrine of Spiritual Gifts

Point 4.
Developing the capacity you need to function effectively in your spiritual gift.

Am I growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

The spiritual gifts come in these two flavors - grace (administration, giving, mercy, helps, and service) and truth (Pastor-Teacher, evangelist, exhortation, and teaching).

There is only one fully heroic pursuit in this life, and that is to give your life for growth in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2PE 3:18
but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

2TI 3:12
Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

The church is always under siege to the extent it participates in growth in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The fruit is the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, which manifests itself in loving one another as He has loved us, JOH 15:5-17.
