Today I would like to look at Romans 12 verse 4 to 10

4)We have many parts in the one body, and all these parts have different functions. 
5)In the same way, though we are many, we are one body in union with Christ, and we are all joined to each other as different parts of one body. 6)So we are to use our different gifts in accordance with the grace that God has given us. If our gift is to speak God's message, we should do it according to the faith that we have; 
7)if it is to serve, we should serve; if it is to teach, we should teach; 
8)if it is to encourage others, we should do so. Whoever shares with others should do it generously; whoever has authority should work hard; whoever shows kindness to others should do it cheerfully.
9)Love must be completely sincere. Hate what is evil, hold on to what is good. 
10)Love one another warmly as Christian brothers and sisters, and be eager to show respect for one another.  

Paul is using the human body to teach us as Christians how to live and work together. The various body parts have different functions, and the body only functions correctly if each body-part plays it's specific role. God gives the various Christians different gifts, to serve a specific function in order for His Kingdom to function properly All gifts comes from God and not all people have the same gifts. We must know our own gifts and develop it to serve the Kingdom of God to the best of our ability. 

Have a wonderful day.
