I. There are the riches of the forgiveness of sin- “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered” (Psalm 32:1.) “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” (Ephesians 1:7.)
II. There are the riches of- “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19.)
III. There are the riches of the whole armour of God- “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:13-17.)
There is that which appears to be gold, but it shines even brighter-
IV. They are the promises of the Lord Jesus- “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” (John 11:25) “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12.) “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep”(John 10:11.)
V. It is the golden treasure of grace- “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9.)
