The term "superadded" refers to something that is added to what is already present, enhancing or augmenting the original. In a biblical context, this concept can be seen in various aspects of God's relationship with humanity, His blessings, and the spiritual gifts bestowed upon believers.

Biblical Context

While the specific term "superadded" does not appear in the Bible, the concept is evident throughout Scripture. The idea of God adding to or enhancing what He has already given is a recurring theme, particularly in the context of His blessings and promises.

Divine Blessings and Promises

One of the clearest examples of superadded blessings is found in the Abrahamic covenant. God promised Abraham not only a son in his old age but also descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore (Genesis 22:17). This promise was superadded to the initial blessing of land and nationhood, demonstrating God's abundant provision.

In the New Testament, Jesus speaks of superadded blessings in the Sermon on the Mount. He assures His followers that if they seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, "all these things will be added to you" (Matthew 6:33). Here, Jesus emphasizes that God will provide for the needs of those who prioritize His kingdom, adding to their lives in ways that surpass mere material provision.

Spiritual Gifts and Growth

The concept of superadded grace is also evident in the distribution of spiritual gifts. The Apostle Paul writes about the diversity of gifts given by the Holy Spirit, each superadded to the believer's life for the edification of the church (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). These gifts are not only added to the believer's natural abilities but are also enhanced by the Spirit's power for greater effectiveness in ministry.

Furthermore, the process of sanctification can be seen as a superadded work of grace. As believers grow in their faith, the Holy Spirit continually adds to their character, producing the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). This ongoing transformation is a testament to God's superadded work in the life of a Christian, molding them into the image of Christ.

Eternal Life and Rewards

The promise of eternal life is the ultimate superadded gift. While salvation is a free gift of grace through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9), the Bible also speaks of rewards that will be superadded to believers in the life to come. Jesus mentions these rewards in His teachings, encouraging His followers to store up treasures in heaven (Matthew 6:20) and promising that those who are faithful with little will be entrusted with much (Luke 19:17).

In summary, the concept of superadded blessings, gifts, and rewards is woven throughout the biblical narrative, illustrating God's abundant generosity and His desire to enrich the lives of His people beyond their initial state.(imp. & p. p.) of Superadd.
