Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
PHILIPPIANS 1:7
The Apostle Paul, in our opening verse, was addressing the church in Philippi, and said they were partakers of his (Paulโs) grace; the grace of God bestowed on him. Thereโre different graces on peopleโs lives, aside from the general grace of Jesus Christ which we all received for salvation. 1 Peter 5:5 says, โโฆYea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.โ Observe that the Apostle Peter wasnโt writing here to unbelievers, but to the Church, to people who already had the grace of God upon their lives.
Thus, itโs clear that God does give more grace. He increases the grace on your life for two reasons: firstly, on the basis of your humility; secondly, on the basis of His calling upon your life. James 4:6 says, โBut he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.โ The general grace of God is what brought you salvation and protects you in salvation. However, when God calls you, He gives you a responsibility and the grace to fulfil that responsibility.
In Ephesians 3:8, Paul said, โUnto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.โ Paul makes a personal reference to the grace given to him, and what that grace was for; it was to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ. He makes a similar assertion in Romans 15:15-16: โNevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God, That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of Godโฆ.โ
The Lord has given you grace for that which Heโs called you to do. Recognize that grace, and function in it. Keep walking in love and humility, and Heโll continually increase that grace for you to be more effective in fulfilling His calling on your life.
