Joel predicted a remnrkable effusion
of the spirit in Messlnnic times (Joel
2: 28, 20; cf. Acts 2:17, 18).
Before the crucifixion, Jesus prom-
ised to send the Holy Spirit to he the
helper and guide of His people. This
was historically fulfilled on the day of
Pentecost. The gifts of the Spirit were
extended to nil classes. Not only were
these endowments marked h.v great
profusion, but hy great diversity. In
(he exercise of these gifts confusion
would surely arise. Divine life, sud-
denly poured Into human nature,
stirred It to unusual power. In view
of the abuses and confusion which are
likely to arise from such a condition,
it is highly important that certain
principles be set forih for guidance
and regulation.
I. The Infallible Criterion (1 Cor.
12:3).
The infallible test which determines
whether gifts are spurious or genuine
Is one's conception of and attitude to-
ward Jesus Christ, (inly those who
recognize Him as (lod manifest In the
flesh, Mis vicarious atonement on the
cross, and submit to Him as their
Lord, can be recognized as possessing
the gift of the Holy Spirit. Christ said
before leaving the earth that when the
Spirit came His supreme business
would he to testify of Him, to take the
tilings of Christ and show them unto
the people. The soundness of the
faith of a man is the sisn of this com
mission from God.
II. The Diversity of Spiritual Gifts
(1 Cor. 12:4-11).
In the church there are to be found
those possessing the gift of wisdom,
knowledge, faith, healing, miracles,
prophecy, discernment of spirits, divers
kinds of tongues and the interpreta-
tion of tongues.
III. The Unity of the Spirit'* Gift
(1 Cor. 12:12-30).
Christian unity Is only possible when
effected hy the one Holy Spirit. This
unity amidst diversity is represented
under the figure of the human body.
1. The human body has uiftny mem-
bers, each performing distinct func-
tions for the good of the body (v. 12).
2. The members are mutually re-
lated and independent (vv. 13-17).
3. The place of each member Is de-
termined by the choice of God (v. 18).
4. The members which are least at-
tractive and least conspicuous are
most important (vv. 21-23).
IV. Love, the Spirit's Best Gift
(I Cor. 12:31-13).
1. The pre-eminence of loro (vj
1-3).
It transcends.
(1) Speaking with tongues.
(2) The gift of prophecy.
(3) Faltli of the most vigorous klnC.1, j
(4) Philanthropy of the most gen-
erous sort.
(5) Heroic devotion leading to mar
tyrdom.
2. The attribute:, of love (vv. 4-7).
(1) Long-suffering and kind.
(2) Free from envy.
(3) Freedom from boasting.
(4) Decorous and well behnved.
(5) Unselfish.
(R) Docs not give way to pASBlon; ,
Is not quick tempered. \
(7) Thinks no evil; does not impute
evil motives to others; is not sus-
picious.
(8) Delights not In evil.
(9) Beareth all things.
(10) Is trustful, hopeful and firm.
3. The permanence of love (vv.
8-13).
Prophecy as prediction will be full
filled Prophecy as teaching will bel
brought to an end In the day wheii*
teaching Is not needed. Tongues shall,;
cease, for as the languages of earth .
were caused by God's Judgment fort
sin, so shall Chris's redemption brliiK(!
the nations back to one tongue. Knowl 1
edge shall be done away with f at
coming of a wider and nobler IntellJ'
gence. The twilight will be lost fiis
day, childhood. In maturity. Love(
will always abide, for God Is love. '
5. The comparative value of prophe
cy and tongues (14:1-25).
Prophecy is given the highest place
because it is to declare God's message
to men. Its primary meaning Is
forthtell. To speak with tongues meaii
to speak in other languages for th\
purpose of showing the presence
God. .
One Who Never Forgets
Others may forget us In their
prayers; there is One In heaven who
never does forget. Others may fall
us when their lamp hurnij low; He
ever llveth. We are engirdled by the
prayers of One who loves us and has
the ear of God and therefore is able
to save to the uttermost—George H.
Morrison.
