To complete each lesson, fill in all the blanks. Hence, God s church on earth may be described as an extension of Christ to show forth the glory of God. In order to function as the body of Christ, the church has been bestowed with certain gifts by the Holy Spirit. These gifts may be divided into two catagories.
Every believer is endowed with one or more gifts.
None are excluded. These gifts must not be equated with our natural talents or abilities but to the divine grace that the God's Spirit bestows upon us in order that the church may grow up into Christ and witness the Saviour to the world. In this study we will consider in general what these spiritual gifts are and zero in on the most important ones. We will concentrate on what the Bible says about the prophetic gift, since it is the gift that edifies the church. Read each question and then look up the text to find the answer.
