In Ephesians 3:2-6, Paul reveals the "mystery" that had been hidden for generations: Gentiles are now fully included in God’s covenant through Jesus Christ. Paul describes himself as a steward of God’s grace, entrusted with sharing this revelation. This inclusion means that Gentiles are "fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel." No longer are God’s promises limited to the Jewish people; salvation and belonging are available to all who believe in Christ.
This truth highlights God’s desire for unity within His Church, breaking down cultural and social barriers. It challenges believers to embrace diversity and equality, reflecting God’s grace to everyone. Paul’s message remains vital today, reminding the Church to live out this unity and extend God’s love beyond boundaries.
