Acts 4:33 - Additional Comments

This great power was given to them by the Holy Spirit - see verse 31.
Any time you honor God and obey with your heart, God will honor that with his grace (2 Cor 9:6-8). God does not necessarily bless with earthly riches as a result of right giving, but He does bless with His grace. They did not do it to receive His grace, but that is how God reacts when the heart goes with the obedience.
And what did they receive because of grace? See Rom. 2:4, Eph. 1:7, Phil 4:19, Col. 2:2. See also Matt 13:12 - give to God and grace grows, withhold and grace diminishes. Note that salvation is a free gift of God (Eph 2:8-9, 4:7), but in our Christian life we are given different measures of grace (Psa 84:11, Prov 3:34, Rom 12:6).
Sometimes we need to recognize that God's grace is sufficient for us, even though we may desire something different than what God gives. For example, Paul wanting physical healing, but learning God's grace is sufficient instead - 2 Cor 12:7-10.
