The Gift of Knowledge

And so, brothers, select seven men who are well respected and are full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will give them this responsibility.I am fully convinced, my dear brothers and sisters, that you are full of goodness. You know these things so well you can teach each other all about them.

Romans 15:14

The gift of knowledge is an understanding of the things in this world and in our lives that are founded in the Gospel and rooted in the Scriptures. This gift is closely related to the gift of wisdom. The Holy Spirit gives this spiritual gift to some believers to bring about understanding and to inform the church or individual believers. The person with this gift is usually well-versed in the Scriptures and often has much committed to memory. They can retain the truth and communicate it effectively at the appropriate times. The gift of knowledge allows a believer to relate the Scriptures, and particularly the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to all aspects of life in this world. They can see how it connects to every situation and circumstance and how the reality and truth of the Gospel is to inform every decision a Christian makes.
