The gift of right judgement is the possibility of making the right choices in life, according to Christian values, and sometimes despite what our friends, society, or culture would have them believe is the right choice.

Spiritual Gifts vs. Fruit of the Spirit By Evang. People often mistake that just because a person may speak in tongues means they are superior to others.
Apart from the gifts of the Spirit, there are natural gifts and talents people are endowed with from birth. Just as we do not choose our natural talents we also do not select the gifts of the Spirit. Christians may receive different spiritual gifts; however, we should each be known by the same fruit of the Spirit.
