In sharp contrast to worldly views of giftedness, all human beings receive gifts from God. Every individual is endowed with gifts, some physically oriented as natural tendencies or abilities given through the spirit in man, and others as spiritual gifts imparted through the Holy Spirit within the church. These spiritual gifts do not conflict with natural gifts and may even build upon them, though they should not be confused with each other. All gifts belong to God and should be used for His glory. Spiritual gifts are extraordinary endowments given to members of God's church for the benefit of the whole Body. They are bestowed by the grace of God through the power of the Holy Spirit, aimed primarily at the edification and unity of the church, and secondarily at the conviction and conversion of future prospective members. Each member receives specific gifts according to personal capacities and the needs of the church, as the Spirit infuses new powers or enhances existing ones for higher activity. The purpose of these gifts is to enlighten, improve, uplift, and educate the church, ensuring that every part functions for the good of the whole, much like a healthy body. Unity in the church does not mean uniformity; differing gifts and functions exist, but all are from the same Spirit and designed for the collective benefit rather than individual glory. Even unnoticed gifts are vital to the Body of Christ, working unseen yet essential to its well-being. God gives different gifts to meet the many needs of the church, ensuring that every member has at least one proper gift as a share in His service. These gifts, though varied and not exhaustively listed, demonstrate His intricate involvement in unifying and edifying His church. They fall into categories such as the ministry of the word, involving speaking and teaching, and practical service, encompassing understanding, power, sympathy, and administration. Among the gifts of understanding are wisdom and knowledge, which surpass ordinary levels and are rooted in a close relationship with God. Wisdom is the right use of knowledge, both being essential for edification. Gifts of power include faith, healings, and miracles, each given for specific needs and extraordinary outcomes, directly from God through Jesus Christ. Gifts of sympathy, such as helps, exhortation, alms giving, mercy, and ministry, enable members to support and serve one another with genuine care. The gift of administration aids in guiding and governing the church with humble service. Above all, the gift of love stands as the greatest, regulating the use of all other gifts. Without love, the other gifts would be misused. Love never fails and ensures that spiritual gifts remain available for the church's needs, ready to be given by God when necessary, provided we actively use them for the edification and benefit of the brethren. These gifts are essential tools for serving God and unifying the Body of Christ, offering wonderful opportunities to enhance His church.
