Ephesians 3:7-8
“Of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace which was given to me according to the working of His power. To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ,”
Imagine for a moment that you have the chance to sit down with Paul the Apostle. In this fictional scenario, Paul is explaining the meaning of Ephesians 3:7-8 to you in his own words.
I, want to share with you how I came to serve as a messenger of the gospel. You see, I didn't become a minister because of my own efforts or qualifications. It was purely a gift from God, an act of His grace. It wasn't about what I could do but about what God could do through me. He gave me the strength and power needed to carry out this mission.
Even though I see myself as the least deserving among all believers, God still chose to give me this grace. My mission is to share with the Gentiles—the people who were once considered outsiders—the incredible and limitless blessings found in Christ. These blessings are so vast and deep that they are beyond human understanding. This message isn't just about salvation; it's about the fullness of life, peace, and joy that we receive in Jesus.
So, my role is to help everyone, especially those who didn't know about these promises before, to see and understand the amazing richness of God's love and grace in Christ. It's a privilege and a responsibility that comes solely from God's kindness and power.
I want you to understand that my work and message are driven by God's grace, and that the riches of Christ are available to everyone, regardless of their background. My own sense of unworthiness highlights the greatness of God's grace and power working through me.
1 Corinthians 9:16 : “For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast about, for I am under compulsion; for woe to me if I do not preach the gospel.”
