Ephesians 3:1-13: Mystery & Mission

Paul reveals a revolutionary mystery in Ephesians: salvation through Christ is available to everyone, not just the Jewish people. Paul's dramatic transformation from church persecutor to apostle demonstrates the limitless scope of God's grace. This grace brings humility, eliminates division, and gives believers three clear purposes: display God's grace in daily life, share the riches of Christ with others, and reveal God's plan to both earthly and heavenly realms. Grace provides direct access to God, allowing believers to approach Him with confidence. Even in difficult circumstances, God works all things together for good, conforming believers to the image of Christ.
