And this God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are a part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Jesus Christ. By God’s grace and mighty power, I have been given the privilege of serving Him by spreading this Good News. (vv. 6-7, NLT)
God’s purpose in all this was to use the church to display His wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in heavenly places. This was His eternal plan, which He carried out through Jesus Christ our Lord. (vv. 10-11, NLT)
