The Riches of God's Glory

God’s glory is displayed most wonderfully, in what Christ does for all believers by means of the glory of His transforming grace. There are certain spiritual realities that will come about in your life, if you perceive God’s glory. But you will notice that this being strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, is something that we should remember to pray for. It is something which is granted by the Father, according to the riches of His glory. These “riches of glory” are “His rich, plenteous, and glorious fulness of grace and strength in Christ”. (Gill) When the believer is strengthened in this way in the inner man, they will not only be able to face trials and temptations, but they will be able to know the reality of Christ dwelling in their hearts through faith, and thus being rooted and grounded in love they may be able to better comprehend with all believers what is the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; to be filled with all the fullness of God. This gives a confidence in prayer as well, for we become more and more convinced that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us. We then see that all glory (all praise and boasting and worship) in the church should ascend up to Him through Christ Jesus our Lord. And this is to be done to all generations.
