Aren’t you grateful that Paul was appointed to preach the gospel to the Gentiles? Otherwise, we might have never known our place in God’s will. However, God’s plan always prevails. With Paul pouring out his heart in the letters to the churches, we have learned the truth of what God expects from us. As we can see in hindsight, it was God’s plan to include us in His kingdom all along. The Old Testament touches on it, but some of the Jewish people glaze over it because they think they are the only people who are chosen to be saved. That’s why Paul writes to them to clarify God’s intent for our inclusion.

That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Ephesians 3:6-7

We can confidently go to God, knowing we are part of the promise.

According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Ephesians 3:11-12

Glorify and honor God in everything you do because He has included us as part of His plan and given us a power that was unavailable to most saints in the Old Testament. We are truly blessed!

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
