Unlocking the Treasure of God’s Grace
As believers in Jesus Christ, we are often unaware of the immense spiritual wealth that has been bestowed upon us. At the moment of salvation, God deposits into our spiritual account “every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3). Yet, many Christians live in spiritual poverty, failing to tap into this limitless treasure.
The Obstacles to Spiritual Wealth
There are several reasons why believers may not be experiencing the richness of God’s grace in their lives.
Ignorance of Our Spiritual Inheritance
Some Christians are simply unaware of the spiritual blessings that are available to them. They don’t know how to access the treasures of God’s grace, and therefore, they never draw upon them.
Confusion About Accessing God’s Grace
Others may be confused about how to tap into God’s spiritual riches. They may worry and complain about their needs and problems, or they may come to God begging and pleading for help, never realizing that His abundant supply has already been deposited into their account.
Competing Interests and Distractions
The most common obstacle to spiritual wealth may be distraction by the things of this world. Christians who focus on possessions, pressing responsibilities, and advancement may lack interest in God’s spiritual blessings.
The Supremacy of God’s Spiritual Riches
The riches of God’s grace far surpass any earthly wealth. They bring peace and contentment that money cannot buy, and their benefits extend into eternity.
Accessing God’s Spiritual Riches
The only way to access God’s spiritual riches is by faith. We don’t have to beg or persuade God to give us 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.
By embracing our spiritual wealth, we can live lives that are characterized by peace, contentment, and confidence in God’s abundant provision.
