'Gift' in the Bible

For I am longing to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong,

Now to someone who works, wages are not considered a gift but an obligation.

But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah, been showered on many people!

Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned. For the sentence that followed one man's offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses.

For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man's offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus the Messiah!

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in union with the Messiah Jesus our Lord.

We have different gifts based on the grace that was given to us. So if your gift is prophecy, use your gift in proportion to your faith.

If your gift is serving, devote yourself to serving others. If it is teaching, devote yourself to teaching others.
