Verse of the Week - 1 Corinthians 12:3 - June 26, 2016

Matthew Henry made the following points in his bible commentary:

• No man can call Christ Lord, with believing dependence upon him, unless that faith is wrought by the Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit. 

Note: Wrought means to have an effect or influence, as on a person or on the mind or feelings of a person. 

• No man could believe with his heart, or prove by a miracle, that Jesus was Christ, unless by the Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit.
•  There are various gifts...but all proceed from one God, one Lord, one Spirit; that is, from the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the origin of all spiritual blessings. 
• No man has them (various gifts) merely for himself. 
• The more he profits others, the more will they turn to his own account.
