SPIRITUAL GIFTS.

 

In the churches established by our Savior and his apostles, the Holy

Ghost manifested itself in the development of a variety of gifts. Of so

great importance did the apostle Paul consider these gifts, to the well

being and edification of the Saints in Rome, that he wrote, "For I long

to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end

ye may be established;" _Rom_. 1. 11.

 

The inspired writings do not indicate that these gifts were limited to

any period of time, or to any one dispensation, but they are spoken

of by the apostles, as ever characterizing the operations of the Holy

Spirit.

 

In the twelfth chapter of the apostle Paul's first epistle to the

Corinthians, we are assured that "there are diversities of gifts by the

same spirit;" _verse_ 4. "But the manifestation of the Spirit is given

to every man to profit withal;" _verse_ 7. From this we learn that

the presence of the Spirit in a man is manifested by some gift. It is

evident from the general tenor of this chapter, that these gifts will

always be manifest in the church of Christ, for its members will ever

have the Holy Ghost abiding in them, and, where that is, the gifts of

the Spirit will be manifest.

 

The Book of Mormon speaks very plainly of the necessity of these gifts

in the church. "Again I speak unto you, who deny the revelations of

God, and say that they are done away, that there are no revelations,

nor prophecies, nor gifts, nor healing, nor speaking with tongues, and

the interpretation of tongues. Behold I say unto you, he that denieth

these things, knoweth not the Gospel of Christ; yea, he has not read

the scriptures; if so, he does not understand them;" _Mormon_ 9. 7, 8.

 

In a revelation to Joseph, the prophet, given March 8, 1831, the Lord

gives much instruction concerning spiritual gifts; "For all have not

every gift given unto them; for there are many gifts, and to every man

is given a gift by the Spirit of God;" _Doc. & Cov_. 46. 11. The Lord

also adds, "That unto some it may be given to have all these gifts,

that there may be a head;" _verse_ 29.

 

Bible.

 

1 _Cor_. 1. 7 so that ye may come behind in no gift.

 

7. 7 every man hath his proper gift of God.

 

12. 8 to one is given the word of wisdom, to another the word of

knowledge.

 

9 to another faith, to another the gift of healing by the same Spirit.

 

10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy.

 

11 but all worketh that one and the self-same Spirit.

 

31 covet earnestly the best gifts.

 

13. 2 though I have the gift of prophecy.

 

14. 1 desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophecy.

 

12 forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts.

 

1 _Peter_ 4. 10 as every man hath received the gift, so minister.
