This verse points out that "in the ages to come He (God the Father) might show the exceeding riches of His grace in his kindness towards us in Christ Jesus".
I think in eternity we will always have a humble attitude before God as we will understand so much more deeply and thoroughly He loves us and how outstandingly great and precious the sacrifice of Jesus is. We will praise and extol the Lord forever, never seeking any glory for ourselves, but giving all the glory, honor and praise to God
I'm not sure that I can add anything to what brother Chris has said.
Ephesians Chapter 2 is a great chapter. When I read it, I find it interesting that verses 1-10 gives us the process of salvation, and Verses 11 through 22 is the purpose of salvation. I break it down into two sections. Something I see in this chapter is that God raises us up and saves us to demonstrate for the world about how rich in grace He is.
Hi Shirley. I can see the answer in Ephesians 2:4, "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us". This can be the only reason for God to show us mercy: His great Love by which He loved us. God is the embodiment of Light & Love. As such, all that He is & declares to us, must be the revelation of Himself. When we deserved nothing from Him, when we did everything that defamed His Holy Name, He yet reached out His Hand of Love in giving us His only Begotten Son. 2 Corinthians 6:2, "behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation", reminds us that His Mercy is for a short time, desiring that "none should perish but that all should come to repentance" ( 2 Peter 3:9). When that curtain falls, those rejecting God's Mercy have only His Judgement to look forward to ( 2 Peter 3:7).

Amen to what Brother Chris and Jesse stated.
and for us to fully appreciate the kindness and mercies of God we must understand how condemned we are without the atonement of Christ.
God bless.
