Rich Grace VS Multiplying Grace VS Overflowing Grace

1 Peter 1:2 “Grace and peace be unto you in an increase.”

2 Peter 1:2 “May grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and our Lord Jesus.”

Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of His grace, which He has bestowed upon us in the Beloved;

Ephesians 2:7 In order that in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace may be revealed in his kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Romans 5:15 But the trespass is not as good as the gift; for if by the trespass of one man many die, the grace of God, the free gift of the grace of Jesus Christ, abounds even more abounding to many.

2 Corinthians 9:8 God is able to make all grace abound toward you, so that in everything you always have all sufficiency, overflowing for every good work.
