In Ephesians 3:1-7, Paul talks about how God worked in his life after he dedicated his life for the Lord. Let’s look at a little background first. In Ephesians 2:17, [...] Christians are God’s temple. Many of us are aware of how when we become Christians, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within us. Do you know that collectively, all Christians form a holy temple in the Lord? That is what Ephesians 2:20-22 says. These verses give us several things to think about as Christians.
