Ephesians 1:7-8 - In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; (KJV)
The King James Version says that his grace "abounds" to His beloved. However, the intoxicating effect of how He "lavished" His grace upon us from the New American Standard version creates a vivid picture in the mind of a believer. The Greek for this word in both translations is "to exceed a fixed number of measure." Isn't that just like the Eternal Father to withhold not his immeasurableness, but to give us an infinite amount of His grace?
Beloved, do you feel lavished upon by God? Regardless what we might "feel," it is a completed fact. If we know the Savior, Jesus Christ, then He has lavished His grace upon us in a way that if we understood, just in part, it would make us swoon with overwhelming joy.
Lord, reveal Your grace to us all ... may we experience the understanding of Your great love toward us!
