Abilities in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Everybody has been given unique talents and abilities to put to use in the service of God. Nobody should look down on others, or consider themselves better than anybody else, because God has a special purpose in mind for every single one of His children.

Talents in the Bible: Matthew 25:14-30
In the "parable of the talents," we get an idea of what God expects us to do here on earth. We're all given talents, some great and some small--but whether your talent is epic or miniscule, we glorify God when we use it to further his kingdom. God isn't rating His followers based on the number of converts they win over or the number of church pews they fill; He's interested in the passion with which we use whatever gifts he has given us.

Spiritual gifts in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 12:1-31
This passage gives us perspective on "spiritual gifts" and their place in the church. Gifts are talents and responsibilities bestowed on us by God, and each has its own place in the life of the church--none is "better" or more important than any other; they're all key parts of the whole, just as the various parts of the human body work together.

Invest - a Christian perspective
The parable of the ten minas teaches that we are expected to use the gifts we've received from God to do good. We're to "invest" them so that they'll earn a return even greater than the original gift.

Gifts of the Spirit in the Bible: Romans 12:6-8
We each have unique talents and gifts given to us by God, and we're called to use those gifts diligently in God's service, in the way that makes the most sense. Different Christians have wildly different interests and talents, but all should work together for the common cause of Christ.

The body in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 12:1-31
This passage is a memorable description of how the diverse members of Christ's church all fit together. Using the analogy of the human body and its many different parts, each with its unique function, we learn that each of us has a special role to play in the kingdom of God. Nobody's talent is "better" than anybody else's--we're all working together to serve the body of Christ.
