This concept is deeply rooted in the nature of God and His interactions with humanity, as well as in the relationships among believers.<br><br><b>Divine Impartation</b><br><br>God is the ultimate source of all that is good, and He imparts His blessings and wisdom to His people. <a href="/james/1-5.htm">James 1:5</a> states, "Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." This verse highlights God's willingness to impart wisdom to those who seek it earnestly.<br><br>The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in imparting spiritual gifts to believers. In <a href="/1_corinthians/12-7.htm">1 Corinthians 12:7</a> , Paul writes, "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." The Spirit imparts various gifts, such as wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, and prophecy, to equip the church for ministry and edification.<br><br><b>Impartation Among Believers</b><br><br>The New Testament encourages believers to impart to one another, reflecting the love and generosity of Christ. <a href="/romans/1-11.htm">Romans 1:11-12</a> expresses Paul's desire to visit the Roman church: "For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith." This passage underscores the mutual benefit and encouragement that comes from sharing spiritual gifts.<br><br>Material sharing is also a form of impartation. In <a href="/ephesians/4-28.htm">Ephesians 4:28</a> , Paul instructs, "He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need." This verse emphasizes the importance of working not only for personal gain but also to have the means to impart to those in need.<br><br><b>Impartation of the Gospel</b><br><br>The impartation of the Gospel message is a central mission for believers. In <a href="/1_thessalonians/2-8.htm">1 Thessalonians 2:8</a> , Paul writes, "We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our own lives as well, because you had become so dear to us." This reflects the apostolic commitment to impart the truth of the Gospel alongside personal investment in the lives of others.<br><br><b>Impartation of Wisdom and Instruction</b><br><br>Proverbs frequently speaks of imparting wisdom and instruction. <a href="/proverbs/9-9.htm">Proverbs 9:9</a> advises, "Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning." The impartation of wisdom is a continuous process that benefits both the giver and the receiver.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The concept of impartation in the Bible encompasses a wide range of giving and sharing, from divine gifts and wisdom to material resources and the Gospel message. It reflects the character of God and the call for believers to live in community, supporting and edifying one another.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3962.htm"><span class="l">3962. pater -- a father</span></a> <br><b>...</b> 3962 ("father") is used of our heavenly .
