Read David Jeremiah 18th July 2025 Daily Devotional Friday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Unity and Diversity
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:12, NIV
RECOMMENDED READING
1 Corinthians 12:12-19
Most authorities on human anatomy recognize 78 organs in the human body. The apostle Paul used the human body to illustrate the diversity and unity of all Christians in the Body of Christ. Organs are diverse, yet the human body is a unit.
Paul used the human body and its parts to illustrate his teaching on spiritual gifts which God “[distributes] to each one individually as He wills” (1 Corinthians 12:11). Just as God arranged the human body and its parts “just as He pleased” (1 Corinthians 12:18), so He has distributed spiritual gifts in the Body of Christ the same way. And just as every organ in the human body has a part to play in function and in health, so every Christian has a part to play in the function and health of the Body of Christ. Paul identifies the spiritual gifts God has given to the Church in Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12-14.
What spiritual gift(s) has God given you? How are you using it to build up the Body of Christ?
