This is part 2 of a 4 part study on the gifts of the Spirit.
The other sections are…
- Part 1: Concerning Spiritual Gifts
- Part 2: The Revealing Gifts of the Spirit
- Part 3: The Spoken Gifts of the Spirit
- Part 4: The Action Gifts of the Spirit
The three revealing gifts are grouped together because they make known to the recipient of the gift something they had previously not known, a divine revelation.
Unlike the spoken gifts, the revelation that comes through the revealing gifts is usually not given through the recipient’s own mouth. Revealing gifts also do not require the participation of the recipient as do the spoken gifts; the Holy Spirit simply gives the revelation to the recipient whenever He sees fit.
Unlike the action gifts, the revelation that comes through the revealing gifts does not do anything on its own. The recipient must act on the revelation in order to apply it.
Message of Wisdom
