Every believer has at least one spiritual gift.
“God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.”
Spiritual gifts are special abilities given by God so that every believer can help, serve, and love one another. Just as a human body has many different parts — each with a unique purpose and design — so the church functions and thrives as every member of Christ’s body participates.
Motivational gifts
Romans 12:6-8
Given by God’s grace so we can perform specific functions well and love one another effectively. These are practical capabilities like serving, teaching, encouraging, giving, leadership, and showing kindness.
Ministry Office gifts
Ephesians 4:11-12
Given by Christ for the purpose of equipping believers to do His work and build up the church. These gifts are people whom Jesus has gifted the church to perform specific functions (informal) or leadership roles (formal).
Manifestation gifts
1 Corinthians 12:7-11
Given by the Holy Spirit to visibly demonstrate God’s power and to help one another. These are powerful, in-the-moment supernatural abilities such as miracles, healing, discerning of spirits and speaking in unknown languages.
