Christians Must Differentiate Themselves - 1 Peter 4:10

1 Peter 4:10
10 As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

In this section, Peter is telling Christians to differentiate themselves from non-Christians, by comparing how they lived before being saved to how the church is to live now. In this verse, he emphasizes that all we have is a gift from God and that we are to be good stewards of it. One commentary explained that God wants to bestow things upon others and wants to use us as instruments  in  doing so. Some of what He provides to us He intends for us to use to serve others, and that includes supporting our church.

Offering Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for the unique gifts you have given each of us. Help us to recognize and understand these gifts, and give us the courage and wisdom to use them in service to others, and the discernment to know Your will, so that your grace may be evident in our lives and that you may be glorified through Jesus Christ. Amen.
