The Richness of God's Grace

"Grace is the free, undeserved goodness and favor of God to mankind." - Matthew Henry

Have you ever stopped to think about all the resources we depend on to sustain our quality of life? While it may be true that some resources will outlast others, at some point they all will cease to exist either by natural causes or by our own hand. Every thing we know has an expiration date.

But what if I told you that there is one, and only one thing that is exempt from any limitations or restrictions? That it is available in rich, eternal supply? That its dimensions are boundless, and infinite? And, that anyone can avail themselves of it without worry or fear?

I am speaking about God's rich grace!  We very often hugely, underestimate the richness of His grace. In fact, there's really no way of knowing. The Bible tells us that the riches of Christ's grace are unfathomable (Ephesians 3:8).

But, in addition to being unsearchable, the richness of God's grace is plentiful. One need only see what He did for us. God poured out His grace in profuse amounts so that our sins might be washed away, along with our guilt and shame.

I keep mentioning the "richness" of God's grace, but the word doesn't even begin to properly describe it. We might relate richness to money, or other material objects of value, But His grace exceeds any type of richness that we know in the temporal sense.

God's storehouse of grace is so jam-packed with it, that He can literally pour it out on us forever and never run out! There is so much of it that it will take eternity for God to fully show how much grace He has for us.

No matter how much grace we have discovered in Him, we've only scratched the surface of it. And, all who are in Jesus Christ are subject to the richness of His grace without end.

Scripture: Hebrews 4:16; Titus 2:11; Lamentations 3:22; Romans 6:1; 1 Corinthians 15:10

Prayer: Holy Father, awaken my heart so that I may always know the vast richness of Your grace. Amen

May God bless you!
