Ephesians 2:7 (NAS)
in order that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:7 (Philips)
Thus he shows for all the ages to come the tremendous generosity of the grace and kindness he has expressed towards us in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:7 (NLT)
And so God can always point to us as examples of the incredible wealth of his favor and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us through Christ Jesus.

You have been a recipient of Adonai's goodness and mercy. you know that He gave His only Begotten Son, Yeshua, to save you from your sins. And of course, you are exceedingly grateful for this His unsurpassed gift. However, you must realize that God did not stop giving after Jesus' death and resurrection.

The Lord God's very essence and nature is love. And it is the nature of love to give. Therefore, God continues to give, pouring out from Himself into you and your life now and through out the ages to come.
It is Adonai's desire to manifest and display His exceeding and surpassing riches, wealth, and abundance to you. Right now He has so much that He can throw and scatter it wherever He wills, knowing that He will never be diminished. His coffers are perpetually full and you cannot deplete them.

Adonai shows you these riches through His grace, which provides you with joy, pleasure, and delight. His grace has already placed you in His good will and favor. Now He delights to show you mercy and kindness. Through His grace you are strengthened and your faith is increased. There is no end to the benefit and bounty that His grace affords you. It has made you well and thriving.

Because of your Messiah Yeshua's sacrifice, God is not hard, harsh, or sharp with you; instead He is mild, gentle, and pleasant. He has made you virtuous and good, fit for His use. He upholds and preserves you, protecting and aiding you at all times. He controls your destiny.
