How does one determine if they have the gift of singleness?? It doesn't seem to be very clear in Scripture. Scripture only speaks of the eunuchs who remained single for the sake of the Kingdom. (Matt 19:12). And then Paul advises men to remain as they are in 1 Corin 7, however, its debated that the context was in light of the difficult circumstances at that time. (1 Corin 7:26).
So, what are some practical ways to determine if one has been called to singleness? Is there anything in Scripture that can make this more clear? Is it based on our desires, or whether we can exercise self-control or not? Or is it based on our circumstances?
