How do we know that grace is the basis of our gifts?

In Romans 12:6, Paul reminds us that our spiritual gifts are 'differing according to the grace that is given to us.' This underlines the foundational truth of sovereign grace theology: our abilities and capacities to serve in God's kingdom are not earned or merited by human effort, but bestowed freely by God according to His divine purpose. As we consider our gifts, we should approach service with humility and gratitude, recognizing that we are enabled only by His grace to fulfill our roles within the church.
