Partakers of Promises

Ephesians 3:6  "That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:" 

That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs with the Jews, again is the mystery of Christ. The Gentiles now have the blessings of salvation by grace, and of the eternal, incorruptible, and never failing inheritance reserved in heaven. That Gentiles should be heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ Jesus, was not foreseen but now it is a reality. The Gentiles with the believing Jews, are now under one and the same head, Christ Jesus, and being all baptized into one body. 1Corintians 12:12,13  "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit."  This unity of the body is of utmost importance for the local church to function properly under its head. In addition to the Gentiles are now partakers of his promise. Galatians 3:14  "That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."  Now all the promises of the Bible are in Christ Jesus, yea and amen, safe and secure. As a result of being in Christ all the promises are available to any that come to partake in them, as these Gentiles did. 1John 2:25  "And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life."  The One who made these promises cannot lie, so you can go to the bank with them. Get you a promise from the Word of God and stand upon it today. Standing on the promises you can not fail, trusting Jesus with every detail of your life. Praise the Lord we have a book and a God that are always right!
