Gifted Part 3: Gift of Faith, Gifts of Healing, Working of Miracles (1 Cor 12:9-10)

In 1 Corinthians 12:9-10 we discover the next three gifts of the Spirit: faith, healing, and miracles. While every Christian is given a measure of faith, the spiritual gift of faith is an abundant measure of faith, often for a specific situation. It enables the believer to trust God for much greater things than he or she otherwise could. Gifts of healing are divine remedies given freely by the Spirit of God to restore physical, emotional, and/or mental health. Miracles are works of God's power that alter the ordinary course of nature. All three of these gifts are given by God for the common good of the church, because we need them, and for the purpose of building up the community of God's gathered people.
