-Grace. Kindness. God wants to prove and demonstrate how much He loves us, and He intends to do this by showering His grace and kindness on us, on His people. In fact, this is the very reason why He made us alive and raised us up and seated us in the heavenlies with Christ in the first place. We will be completely submerged and inundated with His unfathomable kindness for all eternity, unimaginable favor and blessing and goodness which we will have done absolutely nothing to deserve. In fact, add up all the wealth and riches and all the buried treasure and all the untapped resources on planet earth, and God's grace which He is ready to pour out on His people is exceedingly richer still. He’s been waiting to do this since before the beginning of time, and of course He has faithfully rained down droplets of grace on all creation from the very beginning (on both the faithful and the wicked), and then He ramped it up big time at the Cross, but really He’s just getting started... The deluge of grace awaits!
-Once again, this all takes place in Jesus Christ. He is the way. Yes, everyone gets bits and pieces, tiny sips of God’s bottomless grace in this life, but the flood is coming, and the only way to experience the mighty torrent of kindness to be poured out in the next life is to be found in Christ in this life.
