[The Glory Unveiled]
”Every believer has received grace gifts, so use them to serve one another as faithful stewards of the many-colored tapestry of God’s grace.“ [ 1 Peter 4:10 TPT ]
Our anchor verse asserts that every believer has a grace gift; not some believers but every believer. All who have been brought into the fold of God have been divinely endowed with a spiritual talent. These talents manifest in different ways, reflecting the many-coloured tapestry of God’s grace. The multifaceted expressions of God’s grace are manifested through believers in Jesus, who embody this grace of God. How do people see this grace in expression? They see it by the way we bring glory to God in doing whatever we have grace for. The grace of God in you enables you for a particular task; do it to the best of your ability, giving praise to God. The apostle Peter shows us with examples in verse 11 how to express the gift of God’s grace in us and how to bring glory to God. “For example, if you have a speaking gift, speak as though God were speaking his words through you. If you have the gift of serving, do it passionately with the strength God gives you, so that in everything God alone will be glorified through Jesus Christ. For to him belong the power and the glory forever throughout all ages! Amen.” (1 Peter 4:11 TPT). Whatever gifts we have, we must use them as if God were the one using them. We are supposed to allow ourselves to be conduits through which God does His things. When we allow God to live through us, we allow the multifaceted grace of God to be on full display. So, use your gift to serve others because that is what Jesus would do.
