Christ's Limitless Riches Are Unsearchable


Book Description

There is no way we will ever be able to fully comprehend all of the riches of the Lord's wealth. For more than a week, I've been pondering about this verse: "This gift has been given to me, who am less than the least of all saints, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable treasures of Christ" (Ephesians 3:8 KJV). Christ's unsearchable, endless, limitless, and mysterious riches are unfathomable, limitless, and mysterious. This is the true beauty of the mysterious. The term "mystery" is one of my favorites because it implies secrecy. It suggests that we have been given the privilege of searching God's heart for revelation. This verse, along with these concepts, has piqued my interest and left me wanting more. Proverbs 25:2 (NIV) It is the glory of God to keep anything hidden, but it is the honor of kings to discover what is hidden. It goes without saying that this secret of the boundless richness of ourselves and what we are alludes to the mystery of the Gospel. Consider the whole extent of the cross's wealth and understanding. Grace will never come to an end. It piques my interest and makes me want to know more. Is it possible for us to truly realize that He is thinking about us? We have been born again (reborn) and have been gifted with every spiritual blessing that Christ has to offer. Consider the splendor of the resurrection—walking with God and doing wonders. These are just a few of the great mysteries of the gospel, and there are many others. You could spend all of eternity studying the beauty, mystery, power, mercy, and majesty of the cross, and still not be able to comprehend everything! It is completely inaccessible! We also have the Mind of Christ with us at all times. That God wishes to share His mysteries, including the secrets of the universe, with us is even more incredible. This is the ultimate goal of closeness and friendship with His Spirit, according to the Bible. In us, we have the Spirit of wisdom and insight who will convey the truths of the Gospel as it is revealed to them. Wow!!

Sex and the Supremacy of Christ


Book Description

The Bible has a way of shocking us. If Americans could still blush, we might blush at the words, "Rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love" (Proverbs 5:18-19). But, of course, sin always tries to trash God's gifts. So we can't just celebrate sex for what God made it to be; we have to fight what sin turned it into. The contributors to this unique volume encourage you to do both: celebrate and struggle. This book has something for all-men and women, married and single-from contributors like John Piper, C. J. and Carolyn Mahaney, Mark Dever, Al Mohler, Carolyn McCulley, and others.
