Spiritual Gifts

The supernatural means by which Christ has gifted His church. These special gifts are given to every believer the moment they come to faith in Christ. They are not to be kept selfishly to one’s self or to be misused for one’s personal gain, but to be given freely for the development and welfare of the local assembly. The primary purpose of these gifts is to bring glory to God. The secondary purpose is to strengthen and encourage the believers.
