When given more grace

“But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6 ESV)

 God gives more grace 

The above passage tells us that God gives more grace to the humble! To those who aren’t proud. 

To receive more grace, clothe yourself with humility toward others

“All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble." (1 Peter 5:5 NIV)

To receive more grace, count others as more significant than yourself 

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.” (Phil. 2:3 ESV)

“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.” (Rom. 12:10)

“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” (Eph. 5 :21)

Therefore…

“Finally, all of you, be like-minded and sympathetic, love as brothers, be tender-hearted and humble.” (1 Peter 3:8)

“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.” (2 Cor. 9:8 ESV)

“And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.” (John 1:16 ESV)

“It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.” - Saint Augustine
