The Bible teaches that the Spirit has given everyone who has the Spirit gifts. These gifts are not for the personal believer but given to others through the believer. That makes you God’s gift to the church.  Discovering and using the gifts God has given you is central in living a fruitful and fulfilling Christian life.
