Summary

Concluding the series Know Your Best Friend, Dr. Youssef teaches on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, given to every believer for the edification of Christ’s body, the Church. These gifts are not talents or personality traits but divine endowments, entrusted for service. Paul writes, “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good” (1 Corinthians 12:7). No gift is greater than another; all are vital when exercised in love (1 Corinthians 13). Dr. Youssef urges believers to reject passivity, pride, and comparison, instead faithfully using their gifts for the strengthening of others. The Spirit empowers us to serve with humility, unity, and love until Christ returns.
