The gifts of the Spirit, also known as spiritual gifts or charisms, are special abilities bestowed by the Holy Spirit upon Christians for the building up of the Church and the glorification of God. They are not earned, but graciously given according to God’s will (1 Corinthians 12:11). It’s important to remember that all gifts are valuable, and none are inherently “better” than others. Their purpose is to equip believers for service and ministry.
