Spiritual gifts are supernatural tools the Holy Spirit gives to every Christian believer for practical ministry purposes. Unlike the fruit of the Spirit which develops over time, these gifts are given by God to spread the Gospel, lead the church, and serve communities. Every believer has spiritual gifts, ranging from wisdom and healing to prophecy and tongues. Paul instructs Christians to actively pursue love and desire spiritual gifts, not wait passively for them. The key is approaching these gifts with humility and love, using them to serve others and advance God's kingdom rather than for personal recognition.
