THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE 17

THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE 17

A YEAR JOURNEY INTO EPHESIANS 1

‘In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace’ – Ephesians 1:7.

*WEEK 17:

Knowing the mystery of God’s will for humankind (the riches of His grace) brings Him good pleasure– vv. 7-9, 15-22.

The riches of His grace comprises the present (redeemed) and future blessings of the saints in Jesus Christ -vv.3, 10-14, 22.

The sufferings of Jesus on the cross redeemed the lost riches (the riches of His grace) of the saints and thus restored the birth-right of the saints - vv.6-7; Romans 8:28-32; Hebrews 2:14-15.

Although the riches of His grace is for all saints, it is most beneficial to the saints who are faithful in Christ Jesus– vv. 1-7, 11-14.

The blood of Jesus which is the channel to redemption is also the only key to accessing the riches of His grace– vv.7, 13-14.

                                 

Although the riches of His grace are in the heavenly places, saints of Christ Jesus are able to access here on earth because of the work on the cross – vv. 3, 7, 19-23.

Holiness and righteous are the key character traits of the real beneficiaries of the riches of His grace –vv. 4-7; Romans 8:29-31.
