What
is a Spiritual Gift? |
According to Dr. Kenneth Cain Kinghorn, a spiritual
gift is a divine, supernatural ability given by God
to enable a Christian to serve and to minister. Spiritual
gifts are distinguished from human talents, which can
operate without divine assistance. Spiritual gifts should
also be distinguished from spiritual fruits, which are
moral virtues. Spiritual gifts relate to enablings or
abilities that equip Christians for service. |
| Do
I have spiritual gifts? |
We all have spiritual gifts. Every Christian is an
important part of the church. Each person constitutes
a vitally significant member of the body of Christ. |
| Why
should I know my spiritual gifts? |
Knowing your spiritual gifts helps you determine
God’s will for your vocation. It can assist you
in setting priorities for study, growth, and ministry. |
