The Holy Spirit (Lesson - 7) Answer Sheet What Are The Gifts Of The Spirit? In this lesson we took a look at the Gifts of the Spirit. God has given each of us
natural talents and abilities. These talents and abilities, along with the things we have
acquired with our experiences in life, are enhanced by the power of God to become our
Spiritual Gifts. They are a great benefit to the Kingdom of God and the church. Let us take a look at Romans
12:1-8. In the first three verses, Paul
talks about requirements for committed Christian living. In Romans 12:1, what does Paul urge us to do? We are to offer our bodies as living
sacrifices. In Romans 12:2, he says we are to be what? We are to be transformed by the
renewing of our minds. What are we told in Romans
12:3? Not to think of ourselves more highly than we ought to.
This speaks of humility. Then in Romans 12:4-5, Paul uses the body as an
illustration of unity in the church which is the body of Christ In Romans 12:6-8, we are told that we have different gifts. Can you name them? Prophesying,
serving, teaching, encouraging, contributing, leadership, showing mercy. In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, Paul tells us the reason that we use our gifts; in this
case, the gift of comforting others. What is that reason? Because we have been comforted by God.
