Commentary on 1 Corinthians 12:18

Theological / Devotional

Hath God set. In His wisdom God has appointed to the various parts of the body their different functions. Man has no control over this arrangement; it is entirely ordered by God. In a similar way He appointed different individuals in Corinth to do various kinds of work. Each was selected according to the wisdom of God, and endowed with a gift that enabled him to discharge the responsibilities placed upon him (see vs. 27, 28). The gifts were distributed by God; man had no part in apportioning them (see on v. 11).

In complaining and objecting to his place and work in the church, a member may find himself rebelling against God.
