Paul lists a number of gifts God has given the members of the body of Christ. Paul uses this word "gift" elsewhere to denote a God-given ability to serve the community of Christ in a particular way.
Whatever gifts we have been given, we are under obligation to our Lord to use them to serve his people. Other Christians need what each of us has to offer, so participating in the larger community of faith through the local church is a critical responsibility of believers.
