God’s gift of Jesus Christ to the world so that whoever believes in Him becomes a child of God having everlasting life. (John 3:16; John 1:12)  

1 Corinthians 2:2 Paul talking to the church of God in Corinth says Jesus’ crucified is the gospel. 

Matthew 6:33 Jesus’ tells us not to worry about the things we need in life: food, drink, and clothes but to ‘seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added’.  

A:  In Psalms 23:1 David declares ‘The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.’ acknowledging God as a leader and provider and therefore he’ll never be in need. Later in Psalms 37:25 he later states no righteous person or their children has ever been in need ever in his lifetime. ‘But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.’ (Philippians 4:19) These verses say God will always provide for all of our daily needs. He provides from a bountiful source.  

Gift of the Holy Spirit to comfort, abide with us and dwell inside us (John 14:15-17) guiding us into all truth John 16:13)  

The Holy Spirit has given spiritual gifts (wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment, tongues, teaching, administration, apostleship) 1 Corinthians 12  

By the grace of God, the Giver of Life (Acts 17:25, 28) we’ve received many gifts: salvation, spiritual gifts, our possessions and we must remember this to guide our conduct.
