Starting at the end - God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (v. 20). As Han Solo said, "I don't know, I can imagine a lot". And yet we know that God is infinite and perfect in His goodness, wisdom and power. In Christ, He has made us all heirs of His Kingdom, Jews and Gentiles alike (v. 6).
His eternal purpose was to provide fallen, sinful human beings access to Himself, and this was accomplished in Christ (v. 11-12). We are recipients, both now and into eternity of His riches, which are both "unsearchable" and "glorious" (v. 8 and 16). As Paul wrote, "to Him be the glory, throughout all generations, for ever and ever!" (v. 21)
