Untold Riches

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace. —Ephesians 1:7

Deep inside the earth are vast riches waiting to be found. Some experts estimate that six billion dollars’ worth of treasure lies undiscovered, scattered across the darkened ocean depths of the globe. Yet God’s riches go deeper still.

The Bible talks about the “riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience” (Rom. 2:4), the “riches of his glory” (9:23), and the “riches of his grace, that he richly poured out on us with all wisdom and understanding” (Eph. 1:7–8). Yet unlike the riches of the ocean, which could potentially be collected, God’s riches will never be emptied. They are limitless. Inexhaustible.

God will never experience economic collapse or uncertainty. Instead, Scripture promises that He will “supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19). His ever-available provision will never strain or drain His budget. Rather He will continue pouring into your life from His fathomless resources. Whatever your need, whatever the deficit, the riches of God are always more than what’s required.
