Through Jesus, we receive the riches of God's grace. Primarily, we are redeemed by Jesus' holy blood shed on the cross. We are forgiven of all our sins. It is not easy even for those who love us to forgive us for our wretched sins. But Jesus in his matchless grace redeems us from the curse of sin and forgives everything we have done wrong!

This marvelous grace of Christ which is greater than all my sins is the dearest testimony of how he lavishes me with the riches of God's grace. Today, if someone asks you how you are, say, "I am lavished with the riches of God's grace!"

In wisdom and understanding, God made known the mystery of his will to unite all things under Christ. Now there is no more clean and unclean, Jew or Gentile, but we are united in Christ through his blood and adopted as his children in one family.

We are marked by the seal of the Holy Spirit, who declares that we belong to Jesus and God's family and we will inherit the kingdom of God. We praise God for his glory and the riches of his grace!


Application: Father, thank you for Jesus who redeems us by his blood and forgives all our sins. Thank you for making us one family in Christ. Help me to see how lavished I am by the riches of Jesus' infinite grace.
One Word: Lavished with the riches of God's matchless grace
