What are the gifts of the Holy Spirit?

Answered in 1 source

The gifts of the Holy Spirit are special abilities given to believers for the edification of the church and the spread of the gospel.

The gifts of the Holy Spirit refer to divine capacities endowed upon believers for the purpose of building up the church and advancing God's mission on earth. These gifts include, but are not limited to, prophecy, teaching, healing, and speaking in tongues, serving God's faithful according to His will (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). They are intended to function within the framework of community, promoting unity and reflecting the diversity of the body of Christ. Importantly, the gifts are meant to direct attention toward Christ and His work rather than to draw focus to the individual. As the Spirit bestows these gifts, He empowers the church functionally to operate as one body unified in purpose.
