Spiritual Gifts

Only believers have spiritual gifts 1 1 Corinthians 2:14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.   Only believers have spiritual gifts

2- 1 Corinthians 7:7 I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that   Every Christian has at least 1 spiritual gifts

3- Ephesians 4:11-13 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.   A spiritual gift is used to produce maturity and harmony in the church.

4- 1Corinthians 12:7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.   1Peter 4:10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. Our spiritual gifts are to be used for others benefits

5- 1 Corinthians 12:11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.   The Holy Spirit decides what gift I get.

6- Romans 11:29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.   The gifts I am given are irrevocable

7- 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.   My spiritual gifts are worthless w/o LOVE

8- Romans 1:11-12  I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong— 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.   Spiritual gifts are to encourage one another’s faith

Spiritual gifts are a sign from God about our calling 9- Hebrews 2:3-4 how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.  God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.   Spiritual gifts are a sign from God about our calling

10 – Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control   Spiritual gifts are not the fruit of the spirit

I know what my spiritual gift is and I know what I am suppose to do with it.
