Romans 1:
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established.
12 That is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith of both of you and me.
A New Christian Requires the pure milk of the Word
1 Peter 2:1 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
Until their Election Is established, they must grow in Christ
1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
The leadership are tasked with directing new converts with sound doctrine, and the imparting of spiritual gifts by the laying on of hands.
Acts 6:3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; 4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” 5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, 6 whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.
Jude 1:3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
Mutual Faith is receiving gifts and blessings to impart unto the Fellowship, even as it is written:
Genesis 12:2
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
It is in this election that we must be found faithful
Philemon 1:6 that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
The “good things” in us must be found (acknowledged), and then imparted to others.
2 Corinthians 9:12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God, 13 while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for liberal sharing with them and all.
