The Twofold Purpose of The Mystery – Part 2. The lesson addresses the question “what am I supposed to do?”. The calling of The Mystery is addressed to the gentiles for the sake of Christ and the focus for Christians should be on what they need to do in this calling. When we begin to look at what God has called us to do, we need to focus on obedience to the dispensational differences in The Mystery. Ephesians 4:1 says to walk worthy in your spiritual calling. There’s no wonder that Paul prays for us in Ephesians 3:18, and 19 to understand the four dimensions of the love and knowledge of Christ. We read in Ephesians 1:3 (KJV) “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ”. Notice it doesn’t say in Earth, or in Abraham, but rather in heavenly places in Christ. That is a dispensational difference and we should pay attention to these truths. We learn in Ephesians 4:16 that we all play a part in building the body of Christ when we are obedient to our calling. We find that there has to be an illumination of this truth by God. The lesson on September 3, 2006 continues the series on the twofold purpose of The Mystery.
