These verses are in Ephesians 1:17-20.

Knowledge of the benefits of being a child of God

So, wisdom, revelation, and understanding enable you to know the hope of His calling: the hope of His salvation, which you didn't work for. It is also hope for great expectations, blessings, and joy in Christ. Also, they cause you to know the riches of God's glorious inheritance in the saints (His people). That is, knowing the riches of the glory of being God's child, His possession and not the devil's possession. Furthermore, you get to know the exceedingly great power of God, which He has made available to us His children. This mighty power of the Lord is such as the working which He worked when He raised Jesus from the dead and set Him on His right hand in heaven. And the enemy could not stop the Lord from executing His plan. This is the mighty working power of God that is also available to you His child.
