Ephesians 2:7-9 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
God will use the unfolding “ages” of eternity to reveal the extent of His grace in our lives.
In this world we have no true concept of what the Lord has done for us.
When we arrive in Heaven, we will. We will be made able to understand the wonder of God’s love, the price of His grace, and the power of His salvation.
The heavens will ring with the praises of a people who were redeemed from death, deception, depravity and doom.
Amazing Grace
________________________________
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, — That saved a wretch like me.... — I once was lost but now am found, — was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear — And Grace, my fears relieved. — How precious did that Grace appear — The hour I first believed.
Thru many dangers, trials and snares — I have already come. — T'is grace that brought me safe thus far... — And grace will lead me home.
When we've been here ten thousand years... — Bright shining as the sun. — We've no less days to sing God's praise... — Than when we've first begun.
John Newton
