The Wideness of God's Mercy

Today, I've been meditating on three passages that speak to the wideness of God's mercy towards us in Christ. His provision for us is greater than we realize, greater by far than we utilize.

"He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?" (Romans 8:32)

"... all things belong to you, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God." (1 Corinthians 3:21-23)

"But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you. Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom." (Luke 12:31-32)

The incarnation of the Son of God tells us how far the Father has gone (and will go) to provide for those He's chosen. This is a wonderful reality. In the words of the Psalmist, "Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it." (Psalms 139:6)
