Discovering and Using Our Spiritual Gifts

God invites us to "give our spiritual gifts away" through service.

What does the Bible say about spiritual gifts?

Here are a few verses to get you thinking. (Paul's basic description of a spiritual gift can be found in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11):

· Each believer is given at least one gift. (1 Corinthians 12:7)

· The Holy Spirit determines who receives which gifts. (1 Corinthians 12:11)

· Each gift is equally valuable. (1 Corinthians 12:21-26)

· We are to use our gifts to serve others for the benefit of the body. (Romans 12:6-8; Ephesians 4:12)

· We are commanded to use our gifts. (1 Peter 4:10)

· Exercising our gifts will help us develop spiritual maturity. (Ephesians 4:13)
