As Christians we must allow our faith to grow as our knowledge grows and as such we are required to search for the truth in God's word if we want to acquire the virtue of Grace and have much of it.

• 2 Corinthians 8:7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
• 2 Corinthians 8:8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
• 2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

When you travel with grace it glorifies the Lord.

• 2 Corinthians 8:19 And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:

We are justified and have peace with God because of our faith in Jesus Christ.

• Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
• ​Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in us signifies, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

• 1 Peter 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
• 1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
• 1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
• 1 Peter 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Be prepared, be sober, and hope until the end times for the grace which we receive through Jesus Christ.

• 1 Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
• 1 Peter 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
• 1 Peter 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 
• Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:11-16

As you grow in faith, utterance and knowledge be diligent, and in your love for us, see that you "abound in grace".
