Margo's Bible Verses March 28th

On this date, March 28th Margo was reading in the book of Mark 3:20-35 titled "The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Satan" and in I Corinthians 12:28-31 titled "The Gifts of the Spirit".

This is the verse Margo underlined in the passage in the gospel of Mark, Jesus speaking :

"29:But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."

This is the verse Margo underlined in the passage in I Corinthians, the apostle Paul writing:

"28:And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues. "

These are the sentences Margo underlined in the commentary on the passage in I Corinthians:

"The more important gifts are those that are more beneficial to the body of Christ. Paul already made it clear that one gift is not superior to another, but he urges the believers to discover how they can serve Christ's body best with the gifts God has given them. Your spiritual gifts are not for your own self-advancement. They were given for serving God and enhancing the spiritual growth of the body."
