What is the purpose of Spiritual Gifts?
Numerous passages show the purpose of spiritual gifts to be the effect they have on the Body of Christ:
As you can read in these references, spiritual gifts are not for personal benefit or selfish gain. Rather, they are for the benefit of the body of Christ.
- 1 Corinthians 12:7 - "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good."
- Ephesians 4:12 - "to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up"
- 1 Peter 4:10 - "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others..."
When properly exercised, spiritual gifts will contribute to the overall health and growth of the church.
