God's Deep Riches & Wisdom
Paul's exclamation of awe is directed at three specific aspects of God. Commentators explain these as: 1) His 'riches,' meaning the abundant mercy and grace of salvation; 2) His 'wisdom,' the master plan to save both Jews and Gentiles; and 3) His 'knowledge,' the omniscience to orchestrate this complex plan perfectly through history. These attributes are so profound they are described as a 'depth' we cannot fully fathom.
