Ephesians 2:7

“that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus”

If you were the God of the Universe how would you demonstrate you power, knowledge and love to your creation?

Demonstrating His power seems easy enough, he created all things and sustains them.
“He is excellent in power” (Job 37:23) In Job 38 we see God’s power and greatness spelled out.

God has infinite knowledge of all things. One way He has chosen to demonstrate this to us, is through His prophets. We see that God knows all that has happened and will happen.

But how do you demonstrate ultimate love? People say I love you to one another and do random acts of kindness, but what is the ultimate proof of love? God says “greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” (John 15). The ultimate sign of love was God giving His only son as a sacrifice for us. There was no greater or more powerful way for God to demonstrate His love to us.
