Ephesians 3:4-6

When you read this you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ. [This mystery] was never disclosed to human beings in past generations as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles (consecrated messengers) and prophets by the [Holy] Spirit. [It is this:] that the Gentiles are now to be fellow heirs [with the Jews], members of the same body and joint partakers [sharing] in the same divine promise in Christ through [their acceptance of] the glad tidings (the Gospel). Ephesians 3:4-6

Gentile: A person who is not Jewish

According to our Father being Jewish is not a person who was born to a decedent of Israel, but is a person who is circumcised inwardly.

For he is not a [real] Jew who is only one outwardly and publicly, nor is [true] circumcision something external and physical. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and [true] circumcision is of the heart, a spiritual and not a literal [matter]. His praise is not from men but from God. Romans 2:28-29

So because of Jesus’ sacrifice everyone is an heir and we are all members of His body. This is the mystery that has been revealed to us. I honestly and with all of my heart believe that Jesus came and was so successful that He saved us all, whether we know it or not. The Jews were so arrogant about being God’s chosen ones and today so many false Christian prophets are also arrogant about being God’s chosen ones when it is all undeserved and a free gift. If it is as so many confess and only a small percentage of us make it, don’t we have to ask ourselves: was Jesus really that successful? Wasn’t Adam’s sin then far more influential on mankind then Jesus’ sacrifice? And don’t we also have to ask: then is Grace truly undeserved and free if we have to accept it and believe it?

We are told in the Word that in every house there are instruments of gold, silver, wood, and clay. We are told that here are instruments of honor and dishonor. We are told that our Father would that all men be saved. We are told that on the last day that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. We are told that our Father will have mercy on all men alike. We are told that because of the the Sacrifice of jesus that all men will come to righteousness. We are told that Jesus never changes and that He has been given all authority to judge and Jesus always forgave when He was here in the flesh. We are told that Jesus did away with all laws so that it is now only by Grace and we are told that Grace is all undeserved and that it is always free. So if all of these things are true, isn’t the mystery that our Father will get His way and all men will be saved and all of us will come to the knowledge of the Truth? I really believe that this was the mystery that has been solved. 

I believe that all of us will be able to attend the eternal Wedding Supper of the Lamb. Some of us will be the bride and some of us will be guests, but all of us will be there. We may not all be gold, but we will all be in the eternal House of our Father. We will all be there inspire of ourselves. We will be there because of Grace. We will be there because God is all of ours Father.

And those servants went out on the crossroads and got together as many as they found, both bad and good, so [the room in which] the wedding feast [was held] was filled with guests. Matthew 22:10

But if any person’s work is burned up [under the test], he will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his reward], though he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has passed] through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:15

Our Father will circumcise all of our hearts. Jesus' victory is absolute!
