J. Exhortation

J. Exhortation: Although all believers are called to “stimulate one another to love and good works” (Heb. 10:24-25) and to “sharpen” each other (Prov. 27:17), this gift is the dynamic ability or anointing from the Spirit to encourage, comfort and challenge others in their relationship with God. This can involve consoling/counseling others in times of difficulty or challenging others to a deeper step of obedience with God. Rom. 12:8 // Acts 4:36-37, 9:26-27, 11:22-26, 14:22: Gal. 6:1-2; James 5:19-20.
