Ephesians 3:8-13

Ephesians 3:8-13

Paul has now established what the mystery of the church is. He will now speak to God's purpose for His church. In the church, we see the wisdom of God, filled with beauty, variety and complexity. It is Divine wisdom unlike any wisdom we know.It is through His Church that God displays His wisdom to all the angels, both good and bad in the heavenly places. This tells us how precious we are to God as His church.The church is God's idea. Thus, the church must always be according to God's word. God's work must be done God's way. The church is a spiritual entity, made up of all those in Christ, living in obedience to God's word, submitted to the Lordship of Jesus and operating in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Chapter 3
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
