The Holy Spirit bestows spiritual gifts on Christians as unique skills, knowledge, and abilities that they can use to glorify God and build up the body of Christ. These are not inherent abilities or talents, but rather miraculous blessings bestowed by God. Their primary purpose is to strengthen the church or the body of Christ.

When the Holy Spirit works in a believer's life, that's where spiritual gifts come from. These blessings are evidence of God's favor and strength. They are gifts that Christians receive because of their membership in the church and trust in Jesus Christ.
