Ephesians chapter 3 verse 7 (NIV)
I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power.
Paul was a well educated man. He had been well taught on the scriptures and Jewish law. But that was not the reason he was called to preach the Gospel, it was through God’s grace and the power of the Holy Spirit.
This is a reminder to us, that whatever God wants us to do, it’s not in using our own qualities and strengths, for we too are saved by grace. That puts all God’s people on an equal footing. Whatever He has for us to do, God will equip and strengthen us, and the Holy Spirit will guide us.
Dear Lord,
Thank You for Your grace that makes us all equal in Your sight. I ask that I might do Your bidding in the grace that You have shown to me, and that I might also extend that grace to others. I ask in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
