Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly. Romans 12:6
Perhaps you've heard the expression, "use it or lose it". It is certainly true. If we don't use the skills we have been blessed with, we will certainly lose the ability to use them. Here, God informs us that all Christians have been given gifts of grace, and we are encouraged to exercise them. The one talent man, who didn't use his talent, lost it when the master came to see how he was doing. Every Christian begins with a bag full of gifts to aid their ministry. There are gifts of grace, gifts of the spirit, and the practical God given talents we possess. If we keep that bag closed, someday we will open it and find it completely empty. We will have to stand before God someday and explain how we used His gifts.
