WHAT THE RICHES OF GOD’S GRACE PROVIDES
“…to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” Ephesians 1:6-7 (NKJV)
The riches of God’s grace provides countless blessings to the child of God. Let’s look at four great riches of His amazing grace.
PROVIDES HOPE FOR THE VILEST SINNER!
“Come now, and let us reason together,” saith the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18 (NKJV)
“Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.” Hebrews 7:25 (NKJV)
“Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.” Isaiah 59:1 (NKJV)
PROVIDES AN EVERLASTING SALVATION!
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV)
"And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.” John 10:28-29 (NKJV)
“And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life. “
1 John 2:25 (NKJV)
PROVIDES FOR THE COMPLETE FORGIVENESS OF ALL OUR SINS!
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 (NKJV)
”If Thou, LORD, should (indelibly) mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou might be feared.” Psalm 130:3-4
“He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him: As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:10-12 (NKJV)
PROVIDES CONTINUALLY FOR OUR EVERY NEED!
“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
Beyond the basic needs of life, God desires to open the windows of heaven and pour out His richest blessings upon His own dear children. An abundant supply is always there…but a proper request is required! When we ask according to His will, good things come to us.
"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” Matthew7:11(NKJV)
