We have all received gifts for which we had no use. Perhaps it was the third toaster from your wedding or the singing Big Mouth Billy Bass. When we received those gifts, we probably threw them in some drawer or closet or in the garage where they stayed for ten years until you either sold it at a yard sale for a quarter or threw it in the trash. As much as we like to say about gifts: 'It's the thought that counts', the person who gave us the gift either did not know us very well or they had a warped sense of humor. We read in Ephesians 4 that Christ has given gifts to the Church. Unlike the gifts we received for which we had no use, Christ's gifts are nothing but useful and good. Christ said in Matthew 7.11, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!” The point Christ made was that God's gifts are infinitely better than any good gift man can give. As we read in the opening verse of the Book of Ephesians, every believer has already received every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ.
