Cascading Riches

 Ephesians 1:7 (TPT)

“Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by his blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading riches of his grace.”

Have you ever seen those shows where someone wins the big prize? Maybe they win the lottery or a large amount of cash. It falls down from the ceiling or they throw it up into the air and watch it rain down on them. The picture is one of a abundance of wealth. It’s countless riches. So much money that you can treat it casually by throwing it around without worry.

How often do we think of God’s grace in those terms? Do you think about the grace of God as a treasure that is so abundant in your life that you can swim in it, throw it up in the air, cover everything with it? When we are joined to Christ, we are entitled to receive the inheritance He earned. Christ did the work on the cross. He has an inheritance of heavenly wealth, an abundance of blessings, that He has received from God. When we accept Christ as our Savior, when we join our lives to Him, we become co-heirs to His inheritance. Everything Christ has, we also have.

Our sins are completely gone. They are cancelled. The debt is paid in full. So all that is left for us is grace and abundant blessings. God promises to rain down abundant blessings and favor on our lives as we follow after Him. As we become more and more like Christ, we experience more and more of God’s abundance in our lives. It’s like winning the grand prize! We have eternal life! We have forgiveness of sins! We have every spiritual blessing! We have it all…cascading riches as a result of God’s immeasurable grace toward us.

Father, thank you that you are an abundant God. You have blessed us with everything we could ever need to live the life you want for us. There is no spiritual blessing that you have neglected to give us. You have forgiven our sins. You have given us favor. We have the cascading riches of your grace raining down on us every second of every minute of every day of our lives if we will just stretch out our hands and grasp hold of it by faith. Thank you, Father, for your blessings, for your provision, and for your grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
