Grace thrives in our lives when we maintain a humble and dependent spirit, engage in diligent use of means, and pursue God earnestly.
The thriving of grace in a believer's life can be observed through a combination of factors such as humility, perseverance in spiritual disciplines, and a conscious effort to glorify God. When individuals exhibit a humble acknowledgment of their reliance on God, even amid trials, it signals spiritual growth and vitality. Additionally, their active engagement with the means of grace—such as prayer, scripture reading, and fellowship—also suggests that grace is at work. This ongoing relationship with God reflects a heart that, in seeking Him, recognizes its own need and finds comfort and strength in His presence.
