The Holy Spirit, the third person of God, is the dynamic agent that both leads us toward Christ
and transforms us through and in him. Upon a believer’s conversion and regeneration
, the Holy
Spirit continues to work; the Spirit dwells actively in Christians doing many facets of work like
empowering, illumining, teaching, reproving, interceding, sanctifying, and bestowing gifts
.
Often the overlooked work of the Holy Spirit, the spiritual gifts he entrusts to believers are
important for the growth of both the believer and Christ’s bride, the church. God’s desire is for
us to be informed about the gifts his Spirit gives, and it is our obligation and should be our desire
to understand the giving of, the exercise of and the purpose in spiritual gifts. This paper
endeavors to present a synopsis of this subject.I choose the gift of
Wisdom because it is the first
and highest gift of the Holy Spirit because it is the perfection of the theological virtue
of faith
.
Through wisdom, we come to value properly those things which we believe through faith. The
truths of Christian belief are more important than the things of this world, and wisdom helps us
to order our relationship to the created world properly, loving Creation for the sake of God,
rather than for its own sake. Christ gave us seven gifts to make us see the world as he created it
and by the holy spirit giving it to us it means that we are blessed by our lord jesus christ.
