6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
Who's invited to join the kingdom of God? "Whosoever will" respond to God's invitation--that is, anyone who accepts the Gospel of Jesus and gives their life over to God!
None are excluded all are eligible, no race, nationality, no lineage not even heinous former lifestyles can render anyone ineligible to partake in the riches of the glorious gift of eternal life found in Christ.
Up until Paul writing this out there was a closed and exclusive bond around Judaism, the fact that God was now making His appeal to all men was an enormous upheaval in the culture of the day.
APPLICATION
To know that God may want to do something new, something counter cultural, and that I need to be open to be guided into it.
Welcome
One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G
