Building Up the Body: Part II
1 Corinthians 12-14
Purpose: to use our God-given gifts to build up the body of Christ
- “For the Common Good”: The Key Purpose for Spiritual Gifts (12:7; 14:12)
- “For Edification”: The Right Use of Spiritual Gifts (1 Cor 14 esp. vv 3-5, 17, 19, 26)

The true purpose for God-given spiritual gifts is to edify, to build up the body of Christ. God gives spiritual gifts for the common good, for the health and growth of His church!
