The Riches of His Grace

The riches of His grace. ~ Ephesians 1:7

The last post introduced the idea of God’s riches or blessings. Today (and the next) will deal specifically with those riches.

First up, Grace.

If we have been inwardly awakened to our sinful state before God, and our ruinous plight as members of Adam’s fallen race, surely there can only be the following reaction to this “forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace.” First, we desperately need it; for only such riches of gracious foregiveness can cover the enormity of our sinning. Second, in Christ we have it; for as Romans 5:20 says, “Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” Third, we love and adore the wonderful Saviour-God by whose “riches of grace” we are forgiven and eternally saved.

Today, my prayer for you and I is that we will thank God for his Blessings of Grace.
