What happens to believers when God brings everything to its culmination?
When God brings everything to its culmination, believers go into eternity, and there they are as the objects of His eternal purpose. That purpose is His mercy and grace in saving lost sinners. This is what His eternal purpose has accomplished.
Les explains that when God brings everything to its culmination, and we go into eternity, there we are—the objects of His eternal purpose. That purpose is His mercy and grace in saving lost sinners. The context then turns to Ephesians 3:1, where Paul writes as the prisoner of Jesus Christ for the Gentiles and speaks of the dispensation of the grace of God given to him. Paul says the mystery was made known by revelation: when we read, we may understand his knowledge in the secrets of Christ, which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, but is now revealed unto His holy apostles and prophets. Les notes Paul was not the last apostle, for others followed in his footsteps during the apostolic age.
