Spiritual gifts are abilities given by the Holy Spirit to believers for the purpose of serving others, building up the body of Christ, and glorifying God. The Bible mentions various spiritual gifts the Holy Spirit gives to believers; these enable us to act in ways we couldn’t if we were using just our own strength.. Key passages like 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Romans 12:6-8, and 1 Peter 4:10-11 list a variety of gifts, including wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, prophecy, and serving. Ephesians 4:11 discusses roles such as apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Spiritual gifts empower believers to serve in specific, Spirit-led ways that contribute to unity and growth in the body of Christ.
Each believer has at least one gift to be used to the glory of God, for the benefit of other believers, and to reach unbelievers (1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 1 Peter 4:10). No one will have every gift, yet together God gives gifts as He has sovereignly chosen to build up the church (Romans 12:6-8, Ephesians 4:11-13). Some may wonder what the specific gifts look like practically or whether all gifts are still applicable today. But the Bible is clear that every believer is gifted by God for service to others. As Scripture states, "All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills" (1 Corinthians 12:11). Some mistakenly think we can manifest our gifts in our own strength, but Scripture shows that “the Spirit helps us in our weakness” (Romans 8:26-27 NIV). Ultimately, we are called to serve others, glorify God, and trust the Holy Spirit to guide us in using our gifts for His glory and to fulfill His purposes.
