Amazing Grace

As I mentioned in my last post, God takes us who were dead in our sins and makes us alive in Christ because of his mercy, love, and grace (Ephesians 2:4-5).  Verse 7 adds a wonderful description to God’s grace.  Paul refers to God’s grace as the “immeasurable riches of his grace.”  Ponder that phrase.

Immeasurable – too big, too vast, and too immense to measure or consider or fathom.  Were you to spend your entire life investigating the riches of God’s grace to us, you would never reach the end, never fully grasp it or comprehend it.

Riches – Here, in his grace, is true riches.  With his grace that makes us alive, we are truly wealthy.  The richest person on the earth (financially) is a pauper without God’s grace.  And the poorest person on the planet (financially) who has received God’s grace is wealthy beyond measure. True riches are found, not in material things, but in God’s grace.

Immeasurable riches.  Do we believe this?  Are we living like it?
