The Bible tells us that God gives believers spiritual gifts. A Christian’s motivational spiritual gift represents what God does in them to shape their perspective on life and motivate their words and actions. Romans 12:3-8 describes “basic motivations,” which are characterized by inherent qualities or abilities within a believer – the Creator’s unique workmanship in him or her.
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy,let us prophesyaccording to the proportion of faith;or ministry,let us waitonourministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth,let him do itwith simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
