What abundance we have as followers of Jesus! In I Corinthians 1, Paul categorically declares that "those who have heard His call (with no favoritism toward race or other distinction), He (Jesus) is the power of God and the wisdom of God. Ephesians 3:10 refers to the "manifold wisdom of God" or the many forms of His wisdom. Throughout the scripture God is proclaimed as having all power (omnipotent) and is sovereign over all. He (Jesus) is full of grace and truth. I Peter 4:10 refers to the manifold grace of God (grace in its many forms) and II Corinthians 9:8 says that He (God) "is able to make all grace abound to you, that always having sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good work!" And finally, II Corinthians 2:30 tells us that all of us who are in Jesus are "there" because of God's work [not ours] and He (God) has made Him (Jesus) our wisdom, our righteousness, our sanctification and redemption.
True riches, blessed indeed, "joy unspeakable and full of glory".
So much we have; so much yet to discover of what we possess; so much to indeed live out of this Indescribable Gift...all unmerited, undeserving...truely a uniquely privileged and chosen people that God has intended that we should show forth His praises, Who has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Contemplate and revel in these glorious things and yes, partake.
I love you all!
