spiritual gifts survey and tools
These tools, provided by LifeWay Christian Resources, can help you understand where you are spiritually and how God has gifted you. Your spiritual journey as a follower of Christ began the moment you admitted personal sin and placed your trust in Christ as Savior and Lord. From that point, until death or the return of Christ, your life’s call is to grow in Christlikeness. God expects His children to grow spiritually and His Word encourages personal examination as an element of growth.
The spiritual gifts survey and list (see links below) help you think carefully about your spiritual development related to six specific spiritual disciplines; abiding in Christ, living in the Word, praying in faith, fellowshipping with believers, witnessing to the world, ministering to others.
