Q: Why did God make Paul minister, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things?
A: So that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.
It’s not all “about us“all the time, ok?
WE do not intercede for people, the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. WE have the delightful opportunity to join in.WE don’t get “close to God” only when we’re alone with Him (although being alone with Him is good!) Jesus is with us… we read scripture, pray, fast, etc. because we’re His!
