what does the bible say?
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.
