Who has God given spiritual gifts to?
God has imparted spiritual gifts to every member of the Body of Christ. Each believer receives gifts to fulfill His purpose. These gifts are most functional within the local church, but they are not confined there; they can be used anywhere, anytime.
Les teaches from Romans chapter 12 that the gifts God has imparted are given to every member of the Body of Christ to fulfill His purpose. He explains that many of these gifts are most functional within the local Body of Christ, within the local church, but that does not confine them. A believer can use their gift anywhere, anytime. The context then moves into how believers relate to those around them, not just in the local church but in the community as a whole, emphasizing an honest and non-retaliatory attitude.
