Recording with Teaching and Q&A: GIFT Orientation in Scripture
Biblical gifts are expressions of God’s grace given for purpose, stewardship, and service, and they appear in Scripture in from the first mention of Cain's and Abel's offerings to the work of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament. Approaching gifts with clarity and restraint protects both the giver and the receiver, ensuring that gifts are stewarded responsibly, interpreted within Scripture rather than preference, and exercised in humility, order, and love rather than haste, comparison, or self-promotion.
