Understanding Spiritual Gifts

Spiritual gifts are distinct from natural talents, as they are given by the Spirit upon entering a relationship with God. Many common assessments focus on personality traits rather than spiritually discerned abilities, which can lead to misunderstandings about one’s true gifts. For example, Moses may not have viewed himself as a leader, but he was divinely equipped for that role despite his natural limitations. Recognizing one's spiritual gifts can sometimes be achieved by observing how one contributes to the church community, and these gifts can evolve over time with prayer and divine guidance.
