What A Treasure!

I was meditating on God's riches today - What a treasure!! :0)  I thought it was pretty cool that the bulk of His riches can be summed up in His goodness, grace, and glory. :0)

The only verse that mentions the riches of His goodness is Romans 2:4, which tells us that we despise (or think lightly of) the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering when we judge one another.

We find, in Ephesians 1:7, that we have redemption according to the riches of His grace. The kindness that God has shown to us through Christ, is a demonstration of these riches (Ephesians 2:7).

In Romans 9:23, we see that He makes known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy. The riches of His glory provide us with strength in our inner man (Eph. 3:16). The inheritance that we have "in the saints" is according to the riches of His glory (Eph. 1:18). Philippians 4:19 tells us that He will supply all of our need according to His riches in glory - and that Jesus Christ is that supply! Hallelujah!! In Colosians 1:27 we find that the riches of His glory are connected with a mystery - Christ IN you!!!

There were two other verses that I found . . . . Ephesians 3:8 tells us of "the unsearchable riches of Christ" - which is why HE is the supply for our every need. :0) And finally, since I can't say it any better than Paul did, :0) . . . .

"O the depth of the riches

both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

how unsearchable are His judgments,

and His ways past finding out!"
