What role do spiritual gifts play towards growing in spiritual maturity?

Wow, there’s so much wisdom as to what everyine has said here.

I really agree with this as I think as believers, we forget that spiritual gifts are nonetheless, gifts from God and not out of our own doings. Though one could mature their spiritual giftings, it is good to remember that these are gifts that cannot be redeemed outside of God’s control.
There are also no spiritual giftings that are “better” or “more necessary” than others, though unfortunately, certain giftings seem to be more sort after within the church due to how holy it makes one seem. It would be good to remember that God might be using someone through a gifting that we cannot humanly understand, as I do believe that our giftings do correspond with our God given personalities and strengths. In which I really agree with Lakshmi :smiley:

Spiritual giftings do not equate to our spiritual maturity and works. Overall, perhaps it would be of priority to focus on developing our relationship with God and as a result, our spiritual giftings will naturally follow out of love. This really ties in to the topic on developing a wellness plan with the right motivations for growth as Christians.
