Just as the Spirit manifests the character of Christ through the fruit of the Spirit, so
He continues the work of Christ by giving Christians special abilities to minister to one another.
Spiritual gifts are manifestations of the grace of God given to believers according to the discretion
of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:11). They are not natural talents or skills, but are supernatural
empowerments given to build up the body of Christ to maturity (Ephesians 4:11-16). Every believer has
received one or more spiritual gifts and is responsible to use them as a good steward of the grace of God
(Romans 12:3-6a; Ephesians 4:7; 1 Peter 4:10). Spiritual gifts are mentioned in four passages in the New
Testament: Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12-14; Ephesians 4:7-13; 1 Peter 4:10-11.
