Do You Know The Secret?
Ephesians 3: 1 - 13
The Church is not a divine afterthought of God; it is part of God's Eternal Plan
God's
Riches
At
Christ's
Expense
- Paul identifies himself again as a prisoner for Christ Jesus for the sake of the Gentiles
- Acts 9 and romans 15 - Paul's conversion
- What is the mystery described in verses 1 - 6? God's grace...and we are one body of people, which is revealed to us as believers.
- God wants us to have an abundant and eternal life.
- The secret is that we are all equal in God's sight.
- God sees us all as equal, regardless of our sin and the fact that we are all in need of a Savior.
- Through the church universal God is made known to the angels.
- We, as the body of Christ, are reminded so that each one of us can be sharing the good news.
