Young Men Lesson 37: Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit

Manual 3; Supplement from "Gifts to Help Us Navigate Our Life," by Jose A. Teixeira

Discussion Questions:

    • How can you recognize the spiritual gifts you’ve been given?
    • How have you been blessed through the spiritual gifts of others?
    • How can you use your spiritual gifts to bless the lives of others?

Supplement from "Gifts to Help Us Navigate Our Life," by Elder Jose A. Teixeira, April 2009 General Conference:

Our Heavenly Father has a plan for us, a plan of happiness. His plan is centered on the Lord Jesus Christ and His Atonement. Following the teachings and example of Jesus Christ will enable us to understand more fully our part in that plan.

In the first chapter of the book of Moses, we find a short but precious statement that simply outlines God’s work—namely, “to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” 1

In our life’s journey to return to and become more like our Father, we are not left alone. God has given us the necessary gifts to help us in our mortal experience.

“Spiritual gifts are blessings or abilities given by God to His children.” 2 These gifts help us navigate our lives toward eternal goals.
