Spiritual gifts are God-given abilities that empower believers to serve, build up the church, and glorify Him through their lives. Every believer has at least one gift, uniquely designed by the Holy Spirit for their calling.
Spiritual gifts aren't about status or comparison—they're about stewardship. God has entrusted each believer with specific gifts to fulfill His purposes in the world. When we discover and develop our gifts, we step into the fullness of what God created us to be.
The Apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 12:6-8 that we have different gifts according to the grace given to us. Whether it's prophecy, serving, teaching, encouraging, giving, leading, or showing mercy—each gift is vital to the health and mission of the body of Christ.
Most importantly, gifts are meant to be used in love (1 Corinthians 13). Without love, even the most spectacular gifts are empty. When we serve others with our gifts, rooted in love for God and people, we reflect the very heart of Jesus.
God gives spiritual gifts according to His will and grace. You have been uniquely equipped for His purposes.
Spiritual gifts are given for the common good—to build up the body of Christ and serve those around you.
Without love, even the most powerful gift is worthless. Love is the foundation for using any spiritual gift well.
As you grow in faith and step out in boldness, your gifts may develop and shift. Regularly reassessing helps you stay aligned with how God is working in you.
