"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 4:10-11 (NIV)
These are The Holy Spirit inspired words written by the Apostle Peter to the believers in order to expose, counter, and thwart the false teachers of his time. His point was that every man has received a gift from God, and he should use that gift to the benefit of others to the glory of God.
As we study The Word of God we learn that we each were uniquely and wonderfully made by God. (Psalms 139:14) We each have a unique and different set of God given abilities, talents, and gifts. (Matthew 25:15) We each should use our abilities, talents, and gifts as best we can to be a blessing to others. (Proverbs 11:25, Matthew 22:39, and Matthew 25:40) All that we say and do, should be done as if we are doing it for The Lord God, to please Him and to give Him glory. (1 Corinthians 10:31)
