The Bible teaches that Christ gives gifts of grace to every believer, including justification, righteousness, and eternal life.
According to Ephesians 4:7, Christ has earned the right to give gifts to His people through His redemptive work. These gifts are not limited to the offices within the church but include fundamental spiritual blessings given to all believers. Among the notable gifts of grace are justification, whereby sinners are made righteous through Christ's obedience, and eternal life, a gift we cannot earn because we are spiritually dead without Christ's resurrection life imparted to us.
