Note: Healing, Interpretation, Miracles, Martyrdom, Voluntary Poverty, Celibacy, and Tongues are not included in the Spiritual Gift Assessment, because their presence in the life of a believer tends to be self-evident.

The Reward of Faithfulness: To him who uses aright his one talent, as well as to the wise steward of many talents, the Master will say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." The well-doer is not rewarded in proportion to the number of his entrusted talents, but in proportion to his faithfulness in using wisely that which he has, and the unselfishness of the motive that prompts his efforts.[2]
