1 Corinthians 12:17

Eye. If all church members had the same gift or gifts, and all were fitted for the same office or type of service, important phases of church activity in proclaiming the gospel would be neglected and the church would decline in spirituality and strength. Each part must make its proper contribution to the well-being of the body, otherwise maximum efficiency cannot be maintained.

Smelling. There is no body sense that can be spared if the best enjoyment of life is to be secured. The sense of smell may be considered by some to be of less importance than that of hearing or seeing, but it does not take much reflection to realize that an individual who lacks the sense of smell is exposed to many risks that others can avoid by their ability to detect dangerous materials through the olfactory nerve. God does not do anything for His church that is not beneficial. His plans for her are good and not evil (see Jer. 29:11; Eph. 5:27). All the varied spiritual endowments that He has provided for the growth and upbuilding of the church have their important parts to perform, and not one can be omitted without loss. Every member should be so conscious of his great debt to the Lord, and so fully submissive to His will, that he will delight to accept whatever place is assigned to him in the service of the church.
