Part 1 of 5 – The Mystery of God's Grace and Christ's Life

Under the terms of the Apostle Paul's "gospel of the grace of God" (Acts 20:24) in this day of "the dispensation of the grace of God" (Eph 3:2), it is only by the pure grace of God "in Christ" that believers may stand "holy & blameless" (Eph 1:4) before Him. Believers then "become rooted and grounded 'in Christ," growing in the knowledge and grace of God. We "grow up into him (Christ) in all things..." (Eph 4:15).

Furnished With the Grace of God in Christ

The word "dispensation" is used many times in the Bible, although it is not always translated the same way. In Ephesians 3:2, Paul writes of "the dispensation of the Grace of God, which is given me to you-ward." God committed to Paul, specifically, the message of "the Grace of God" as "the mystery (secret)" that is now revealed" and to be dispensed to "all men" (Eph 3:9).
