God's Grace

And then Paul goes on to speak about gifts. And the word is charisma, from which we get the famous word charismatic.

And let me say that the word charisma is derived from the Greek word for grace, which is charis. So, basically, the charismatic gifts are expressions of God’s grace.

They enable you to do things which you cannot do by your own natural ability. You remember, grace cannot be earned, and grace begins where human ability ends.
