BREATHE RICHES OF GODS GRACE. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.(Ephesians 1:1-3) Do you think of yourself as rich? No matter how much money you have, if youre a believer in Jesus, youre extremely wealthy because God has lavished the riches of His grace upon you. At the moment of salvation, He deposited into your account every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Why, then, do so many believers live in spiritual poverty? (1.) Ignorance. Some Christians dont know about this unlimited spiritual bank account, and, therefore, they never draw upon it. (2.) Confusion. Too many believers just dont know how to access the treasures of Gods grace. As a result, they worry and complain about their needs and problems or in desperation come to the Lord begging and pleading for help, never realizing His abundant supply has already been deposited into their account. (3.) Competing Interests. Distraction by things of this world may be the most common reason. Christians in this category focus on possessions, pressing responsibilities, and advancement but lack interest in Gods spiritual blessings. The riches of Gods grace supersede any earthly wealth. They give the peace and contentment that money can never buy, and their benefits reach all the way into eternity. The only way to access Gods spiritual riches is by faith. We dont have to beg or persuade the Lord to give what He has already made available to us. Instead, we simply choose to believe that we are who He says we are and can do what He has called us to accomplish.
