INTRO
The Great Mystery(Revelation) of Grace as was revealed to Paul which he shared in Ephesians Chapter three(3) spells out the Love of God to all people, and the life to live in that love. Paul was spiritually led into the secret behind this Grace and thus our engagement as engraced people was clearly defined. The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ revolves around His Grace or Love for humanity, and for us to engage in the proclamation of the Gospel of this revealed grace, we need to understand the intrinsic Value and Glory of the Gospel, thus the Lesson presents the following outlines for discussion;
1. The Mystery Of Christ Revealed
2. Proclaiming God’s Revealed Plan
3.Experiencing The Fullness Of Christ’s Love
THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST REVEALED – EPH3:1-6


PROCLAIMING GOD’S REVEALED PLAN – EPH3:7-13


EXPERIENCING THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST’S LOVE – EPH3:14-21


*Strengthening our inner-man by His Spirit, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith – a place well rooted and grounded in Love v16-17.
*Comprehending the entirety of God’s love which passes knowledge, so that we might be filled with all the fullness of God. Though it seems impossible to fully know the vastness of God; the mystery behind this is that, He fills us with all that we supernaturally need to know about him. Colossians 2:10 says ‘we are complete in Him…’
*Perfecting all that we could ever ask or imagined in conjunction with His purpose. v20
Lastly, while Paul was thanking God for the revelation of this great mystery; he made it clear that the work of God was not limited to city of Ephesus or the first century Church, but that the power of God is available to every Christian everywhere and at all times. So let us engage in reaching out to others with the Gospel of Jesus.
Thanks for studying Ephesians Chapter 3 with us, any contributions or benefits?
