So, what are aptitudes? Aptitudes are natural talents and abilities for doing certain kinds of things easily and quickly. Aptitudes are what we are born with. They are “how we are wired”.
In Ephesians 4:11 we are told that God gave us different gifts. He appointed some apostles, others prophets, others evangelists, others preachers and still others teachers. We should not consider ourselves superior to others because we have a talent that another does not.

Natural talents are those abilities inherited from one's parents and nurtured in the context of one's family. We all know people who are talented and come from a long line of family members who share the same talent (consider, for example, the Matthews family in the NFL).
