Aim: To humbly receive and graciously employ God's gifts of grace.
Doctrine: From the oneness God flows particular gifts of grace, that are dispensed according to divine wisdom, and are directly connected to the risen Savior.
Exegesis: The nuances of God's gifts of grace: they are specifically crafted for individual churchmen (v. 7); they are abundantly provided from Christ's victory spoils (v. 8); they are incarnationally empowered by Christ's total rule (vv. 9-10).
Further application: How the church is to steward God's gifts of grace: with gratitude—leading to eagerness to serve; and with awe—as we consider the honor of being favored by God.
Key verse: v. 7 ''But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.''
