EPHESIANS 1
7 according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight
LAVISHED GRACE
I love strawberries and cream, I love to pour cream on my strawberries, I love to lavish them with cream.
When God gives something to us, such as forgiveness, such as redemption and grace, he does not hold back.
He gives it to us lavishly, his grace is rich and deep. Can you come to a full understanding of that, I certainly can't, it is beyond our understanding.
He gives it to us, knowing all about us, knowing all about us, but he still gives it.
But again, he can only give it to us because he had to see his beloved son suffer on Calvary, he can only give grace, because he gave up his son to be the scapegoat for our sin. He punished his son, so that he could lavish his grace and his love on us.
What a glorious salvation
True, Total, Rich and Lavished upon us
God blesses you

Ephesians 1
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
MYSTERY AND MAJESTY
All through the Old testament, we have pictures of redemption, through the series of sacrifices and feasts, the old testament writers wrote about grace, they earnestly and fervently wrote about him, but we see the fulfillment, in 1 Peter1,we read this:
10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
But in these days, Christ is revealed to us, in Hebrews 1, we read this:
1God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Now he has been pleased to reveal Christ in all his fullness... to us.
We get the benefit of this, but in a recurring theme, he does it for his good pleasure and his glory, God does everything according to his purposes and for his good pleasure.
He also reveals Christ, to draw all the strings of history together, the cross and resurrection are the central point of history, he brings everyone and everything together in Christ, he brings different people from different nations together in Christ.
We are together in Christ, we are redeemed in Christ, we are one in Him. In the fullness of time, he has brought true salvation to all men.
People through history have longed to look at these things, David, Moses and Isaiah wrote about these things, but we can see them, we have the benefit.
What a wonderful joy to be In Christ.
God bless you

Who am I?
I am an ordinary Christian just like you and me, I love to study the scriptures and share what God shows me. I am from the UK, and at present live in Nanjing China. I am an English teacher. I have been saved from my teenage years, am now eligible for Pension.
I believe the whole of the bible, especially love the five Solas of the reformation.
I am saved by GRACE alone by FAITH alone in CHRIST alone through the WORD OF GOD alone for the GLORY OF GOD alone.
