Promises of Grace

For it has pleased [the Father] that all the divine fullness (the sum total of the divine perfection, powers, and attributes) should dwell in Him permanently. Colossians 1:19 (AMP) 
 __________________________________________ 
Though all the perfections of God are in Christ, as eternity, omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, immutability, independence, and necessary existence, and every other, or he would not be equal with God;" 
"There is a fulness of grace in him, out of which saints receive, and grace for grace, or a large abundance of it; the fulness of the spirit of grace, and of all the graces and gifts of the Spirit is in him; and of all the blessings of grace, as a justifying righteousness, pardon of sin, adoption, sanctification, even of all that grace that is implanted in regeneration, that is necessary to carry on and finish the good work upon the soul; there is a fulness of all light and life, of wisdom, and strength, of peace, joy, and comfort, and of all the promises of grace, both with respect to this world and that which is to come;"
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible; Colossians 1:19.

"There is a fulness of all light and life, of wisdom, and strength, of peace, joy, and comfort, and of all the promises of grace.." 
Because Jesus Christ is God, I have the promise of wisdom, strength, peace, joy and comfort—all because of God's grace given to me through His Son, Jesus Christ. 

To fully enjoy all that God and His Son has to offer me, I must be permeated with a deep sense of reverence for God (Acts 9:31; MSG)
