When You Read

Ephesians 3:1-7; NKJV

1  For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles —  

2 if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, 

3 how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, 

4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), 

5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: 

6 that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, 

7 of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.

God expects us to read to His word.  Because of His great love for us He has revealed Himself and a plan of salvation to us.  When we read His word we can know Him and receive His grace.

Read His word.  Know Him.  Experience His grace.
