1 Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; Dependence on the Lord directly is superior to dependence on the Lord indirectly through someone operating in one of these gifts. If that’s true, then why do we need the gifts of the Holy Spirit? Should we just all receive directly from God and cut out the intermediary? Well, that would be nice, but the fact is that our souls do not reach instant maturity at the time of our conversion. There is a growth process in the Christian life.
