Ephesians 3:1-12

,


For everyone to see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things.

from Ephesians 3:9





Is God's plan for us to have a better life or new life?

The good news of Jesus Christ is not just about our sins being forgiven, but about God’s purposes for the whole world. “For God so loved the world…” means salvation is never private; it overflows into mission. Our transformed lives become light for others, inseparable from God’s work of redeeming creation. The Apostle Paul himself was not just improved but completely changed, from persecutor to servant of Christ, caught up in God’s revolutionary plan. And so are we. To be a Christian is to be part of God’s great movement—the overthrow of sin, the extension of mercy, justice, and humility, and the sharing of the good news to the ends of the earth. Christianity is not reform. It is a revolution!
