Partakers of His promise

Ephesians 3:6 "That the gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ by the gospel"

Another absolutely incredible verse! Speaking as a gentile..I am very thankful for this promise. Because of what Christ did on the cross..we have been grafted in, and have become part of the same body of believers as the jews in the Old Testament..we are not only fellowheirs..but joint heirs with Jesus! We are partakers of the promises of Christ.

Paul spoke a couple of verses later in this passage about how he felt himself to be the least of all saints..and yet God was using him, and had made him a preacher to the gentiles..to encourage, strengthen, and to teach the unsearchable riches of Christ...in Whom we have boldness and may access with CONFIDENCE because of our faith in Him.

Today, if you are feeling a bit like Paul..wondering what or even why God would ever see any good in you..how He could ever use your life..remember that He sees past whatever pain you may be experiencing. He sees past whatever deeds you may have done. He sees past your emotions. He sees your heart...and according to the gift of grace given by God..you also may experience the unsearchable riches of Christ. He has a purpose and a plan for YOU! YOU are a partaker in the wonderful promises of God..and a joint heir in His kingdom. Praise His HOLY Name!!
