To me, the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ. Ephesians 3:8
Paul had been standing on the riches of God's blessings all along, but he didn't know it until he knew Jesus. Then those unfathomable riches were his to use and proclaim. Something like Jed Clampitt of the Beverly Hillbillies. "And then one day he was shootin' at some food and up through the ground came some bubblin' crude." Jed had been a millionaire all along, but he couldn't use it until he knew it and found it. Whether are standing on the promises or sleeping on the premises, God's grace is sufficient to make those riches useful to all of us. When we get to know Jesus, we will get to know His riches.
