Top Highlights

“Spiritual gifts are given for ministry. The Bible says, ‘As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God’ (1 Peter 4:10). Since we have all received spiritual gifts, we are all expected to minister.” (Page 10)

“Instead of making the Body of Christ a dictatorship or a democracy, God has chosen to make it a living organism, Jesus being the head and each member functioning with one or more spiritual gifts. Understanding spiritual gifts, then, is the foundational key to understanding the organization of the Church.” (Page 16)

“Not everybody in the world has spiritual gifts. Unbelievers do not. But every Christian person who is committed to Jesus and truly a member of His Body has at least one gift and quite possibly more. The Bible says that every Christian has received a gift (see 1 Pet. 4:10) and that ‘the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all’ (1 Cor. 12:7).” (Page 17)

“If you are a committed Christian, if you are living a holy life and if you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you can be assured that if God has chosen to give you a certain gift, He is also, more often than not, going to create in you the desire to receive that gift.” (Page 21)

“Second, not only does knowing about spiritual gifts help individual Christians, but it also helps the Church as a whole.” (Page 24)
