Exceeding riches of His Grace

Your Past: And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. (Eph 2:1-3)

Your Now: But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (Eph 2:4-7)

Simplified: You and I, who were all dead in trespasses and sins, once walked in the lusts of our flesh. But God who loved us made us alive together with Christ and show us the exceeding riches of His Grace.

Question: What is the exceeding riches of His Grace? Answer: His Grace is Jesus Christ. And Christ has made a divine exchange with us on the cross. He took our sins and gave us His Righteousness, He took our suffering and gave us His peace, He took our poverty and gave us His prosperity... Therefore In Christ we are made complete "as He is so are we in this world". Are you not comprehend? Are you not excited? If not, you ain't got it yet. Hear Him!
