Spiritual Gifts

There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:4
Recommended Reading:
Romans 12:3-83 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. 4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; 8 he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
Romans 12:3-8
The apostle Paul talked about spiritual gifts in Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, and Ephesians 4. In studying these passages we can determine that a spiritual gift is a capacity the Holy Spirit places within us for serving God in the unique way He has designed for us. When the Holy Spirit came to live within your heart, He gave you spiritual gifts. Every Christian has at least one.
Dr. A. T. Pierson said, “Everyone has some gift, therefore all should be encouraged. No one has all the gifts, therefore all should be humble. All the gifts are for one Body, therefore all should be harmonious. All the gifts are needful, therefore all should be faithful.”
One of the best ways of discovering your spiritual gifts is seeing how God uses you. What do you enjoy doing for Him? What does He seem to bless? What areas of Christian service ignite your passion?
Ask God to show you the gift He has given you for service and then go to work!
Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
