Daily Bible Reading – January 2022: God’s Renewing Word of Unity in Christ Jesusનમૂનો

January 5

Introduction

The apostle Paul explains that Gentiles are now included in God’s plan of salvation and share in God’s promise through Christ Jesus. He refers to “God’s secret plan” (verse 9) when describing his outreach to the Gentiles.

Scripture Reading

Ephesians 3:1-13

Today’s Key Verse: Ephesians 3:12

In union with Christ and through our faith in him we have the boldness to go into God’s presence with all confidence.

Reflect

In verse 7, Paul claims to be a “servant of the gospel by God’s special gift.” To what does this special gift refer? Paul refers to God’s “secret plan” or “secret” in verses 3, 5, 6, and 9. How does he explain this secret? What is his overall message to the Gentiles?

Pray

Thank you, Lord God, that your blessings are for all people and for inviting me to share in the promises that you have made through Christ Jesus. Amen.
