Gods gifts are there always
Feb 20
Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
God gives us gifts. In fact He gives us all gifts. In context, this is speaking about the future restoration of the Jewish nation. Paul is saying that even though the Jews had rejected God, the Lord was still going to bring His promises to the Jews to pass. This is an act of total grace on the Lord’s part.
This scripture has a broader application, too. Any calling, or gift to accomplish that calling, that the Lord gives an individual is without repentance. That means, that regardless of what an individual does, God doesn’t withdraw His gifts and callings. This is why some ministers who fall into sin can still see the supernatural gifts of God flow in their ministries.
That is not to say that living a life separated unto God is not important. It is very important. A person who is living in sin is going to have their faith made shipwreck through their conscience (1 Tim. 1:19). They will begin to lose effectiveness. However, as much as they can operate in faith, the gifts and callings of God that they received are still there and they will function.
Anything that you ever received from God is still there, it just needs to be activated by faith.
