What does the Bible say about spiritual gifts and calling?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the effective calling of God's elect is not based on human qualities or gifts, but solely on God's grace.

In the realm of spiritual gifts and calling, the Bible emphasizes that it's not human talents, intelligence, or social status that determine who is called by God. As stated by Jesus in His commission to the disciples, all power in heaven and on earth is given unto Him, and He empowers those He has chosen to preach the gospel. The effectiveness of God's calling rests on His sovereign will and purpose rather than human merit. This means that God’s selection of individuals for His work is unconditional and done according to His divine plan, demonstrating His grace and authority.
