What is another aspect of the mystery concerning the Gentiles?
Another aspect is that Gentiles become fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise, brought into a privileged position with Israel’s God in the body of Christ. This secret was hidden in God from the beginning but is now revealed through Paul’s ministry to make all men see it.
Les explains that the mystery includes Israel being spiritually blinded for almost two thousand years, but another revelation is that Gentiles come into a privileged position with Israel’s God in the form of the body of Christ. The passage says Gentiles are fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of the promise. Paul was made a minister according to the gift of God’s grace to make all men see the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world was hid in God, the sovereign God who created all things by Jesus Christ. Les then points to Colossians chapter 1, verses 25 and 26, as another aspect of the mystery.
