5. Remind the inquirer that along with the gifts of the Spirit we should constantly seek to demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law" (Galatians 5:22–23, NIV). Fruit and gifts must go hand in hand. We are known by our fruit (Matthew 7:16, 20).
6. Pray with the inquirer for a demonstration of the fruit of the Spirit in his or her life, and for increased and effective service to the body of Christ and to the world through the exercise of his or her gifts.
Scripture
Study 1 Corinthians 13 in relation to other Scriptures for perspective on the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
"As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God" (1 Peter 4:10).
