    Spiritual Gifts and Unity in Christ from 1st Corinthians 12: 1-31 Paul’s words in his letter to the Corinthian church, lays an emphasis on the virtue and need for unity within these community of believers as it relates to the diverse operations of spiritual gifts (I Corinthians 12:1-31). This is because spiritual gifts and unity are interconnected and vital to their church experience and Christian life. According to him, our effectiveness as the church of Jesus Christ lies in our willingness to work together even as we recognise the different abilities bestowed on us by the Holy Spirit. In this section of the letter the apostle advocates for a more communal spirituality than an individualistic approach to living out one’s faith experience.

We cannot go back and seek those who have left, but know that we are to be servants unto death. We are in warfare and must be willing to be obedient at all costs, with the understanding that we cannot win them all, but we move forward reaching those who want to be taught.…

He lived a life free from enslaving lusts and instead chose to be a slave to the needs of others. The Holy Spirit is the power behind the believer’s ability to serve and bear fruit. As believers serve one another by being controlled by the Spirit, it will then effect the lives of the other believers, causing them to bear fruit in their own lives.…

    (23) To every man's lives, there are two sides; the weaker side and the stronger side. In other words, the good side and the bad side of every one of us we are all praying to God to overcome. We should stop seeing and condemning the weaker side of one another, but rather learn to celebrate the great values in one another to enjoy the best God had invested in us. No one is perfect except God, but we are all walking towards perfection: therefore let us correct in love and rebuke the other when necessary; than to destroy one another with our mouth: “the Africans are known for more of this attitude”.…
