There is a single word that encompasses all the riches we find in Christ - GRACE!
This magnificent word is used more than 150 times in the New Testament.
God’s grace is inexhaustible and boundless!
A Christian is saved by Grace... Ephesians 2:8
A Christian stands by Grace... Romans 5:2
Look at John 1:14 and see what it says of Christ..... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Jesus is described as being full of grace!
Two verses further on we read that of His fullness have we all received,
God’s grace is inexhaustible and boundless!

and that being grace upon grace, or grace for grace!

I once heard it described as:
Gods
Riches
At
Christ's
Expense
I like that - it puts it in plain view. Thanks
