SPIRITUAL GIFTS TEST

God has given each believer one or more spiritual gifts to use for God’s glory (1 Cor. 12:4-11; Rom. 12:6-8; 1 Peter 4:10-11).

Jesus calls us to use our gifts to partner with him in extending God’s loving rule and reign on earth. God not only wants us to know our spiritual gifts, but expects us to develop them and use them regularly.

This spiritual gifts test will help you discover or reaffirm the gifts God has given you.
