The Bible describes several gifts of God, each of which plays a crucial role in the life of a believer. Here are some of the gifts of God mentioned in the Bible:
- Salvation – The Bible describes salvation as a gift from God. It is the forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

- Holy Spirit – The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, and is the gift of God to believers after they have placed their faith in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit guides, teaches, and empowers believers to live a holy and righteous life. (Acts 2:38)
- Wisdom – Wisdom is a gift of God that enables us to make good decisions, and to understand and apply His truth in our lives. (James 1:5)
- Faith – Faith is the gift of God that enables us to trust in Him and to believe in His promises, even when we cannot see them. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
- Healing – Healing is a gift of God that enables us to experience physical, emotional, and spiritual wholeness. (James 5:14-15)
