7 Questions & Answers about Spiritual Gifts

1. What is a spiritual gift?

An ability given by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to perform the work of the ministry in the church.

2. Who gives spiritual gifts?

Spiritual gifts come from God. They are a gift, not something we earn. First Corinthians 12:11 clearly states that it is God who has given us gifts. First Corinthians 12:11 elaborates further, stating it is His Spirit which bestows these gifts. Finally, in Ephesians 4:11, we are told that Christ, as part of the Godhead, gives these gifts also.

3. Who receives these gifts?

All believers are given at least one gift. First Corinthians 12:7, 11, 18, tells us that “to each one” is given a gift. Therefore, all Christians can count on the fact that they have been given at least one gift.

4. When are we given these gifts?

 According to Romans 8:9 and Galatians 3:2-5, we receive our gift at our conversion, when the Holy Spirit enters a person’s heart. First Corinthians 12:7 states that when He comes into our lives that He brings a gift or “manifestation of the Spirit.”

5. What is the purpose of spiritual gifts?

 It is to build up the Body of Christ such that it can fulfill its God-given Mission. 1 Corinthians 12:7 – gifts are given for the “common good” of the body.  1 Corinthians 14:12 – they are “to build up the Church.”  1 Peter 4:10 – they are “to serve others.” 1 Peter 4:11 – “so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 4:12 – for “works of service so that the Body of Christ may be built up.” Ray Stedman, in his book entitled Body Life, writes: “We must continually remember that the work of the ministry is to the world. The Church exists as God’s instrument to reach the world” (p. 94). Spiritual gifts buildup the church to be an effective instrument.

6. Are spiritual gifts the same as talents?

 Spiritual gifts are different from talents. A talent is a naturally developed ability which is independent of one’s commitment to Christ. It may be used for any purpose. A spiritual gift, however, is given at spiritual birth and its primary objective is to build up the church. Often gifts complement our talents. God in his infinite wisdom knows which gifts will be best for our talents, background, personality and situation in life.

7. How do I know and confirm which gifts I may have?

 God gives us gifts to build up the Body of Christ. We should see the Body being built up as a result of us using our gifts. As a Christian, you too are part of the Body of Christ. Therefore, you will also be built up through your gifts’ use. If you are not encouraged through your service in an area, it is probably not your gift. Through exercising your gift, you should see fruit and receive a deep satisfaction of knowing God is using your life.
