Spiritual Gifts

Spiritual gifts are abilities given by the Holy Spirit for the service, growth, and edification of the church.

Every believer receives gifts according to God's design and is called to use them for the benefit of others rather than personal advancement.

The New Testament describes a variety of gifts, including teaching, service, leadership, encouragement, mercy, evangelism, and others. While gifts differ from one believer to another, all are intended to contribute to the health and mission of the Body of Christ.

Spiritual gifts are not signs of spiritual superiority but tools entrusted by God for faithful ministry.

See in Scripture: Romans 12:3–8; 1 Corinthians 12:4–31; Ephesians 4:11–16; 1 Peter 4:10–11
