Spiritual gifts are divine empowerments given by the Holy Spirit to every believer to build up the body of Christ. There are many spiritual gifts listed in the Bible such as prophecy, healing, miracles, discernment, and tongues. Spiritual gifts have characteristics like asserting that Jesus is Lord, building faith, and helping fulfill one's calling. They should be used to serve others as good stewards of God's grace in order to glorify God and build up the body of Christ. Spiritual gifts are vital for character formation and the building of the church.
