"...For to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace" (Ephesians 2:15).
It is a shame that so many in the Body of Christ do not see what it is that God is doing today, in this dispensation of His grace committed to Paul. The error of some is a failure to come unto perfection in the Pauline revelation, for they labor under the so-called Great Commission. Others go to extremes with agendas that are used of the devil to cause "divisions" in the Church and "blind [even] the minds" (II Corinthians 4:4) of believers from knowing the truth. Consequently such teachings are used by Satan to deceive both saint ad sinner alike. Thitus men walk in darkness. When lies are substituted for truth, the devil gets a foothold in the Church to wreak "havoc".
God, however, will not be mocked of men, for "the Judgment Seat of Christ" (II Corinthians 5:10) awaits those who make merchandise of "the Word of God" (II Corinthians 2:14-17; Titus 3:10) and there shall be a great loss of rewards (I Corinthians 3:15). And when the devil "blinds the minds of them that believe not", souls that could have been saved will be cast into hell and the Lake of Fire at the "great white throne" judgment (Revelations 20:11-15).
In this endeavor to discover what it is that God is doing today, several passages of Scripture come to mind. Along with Romans 16:25 and I Corinthians 12:13 are two very similar verses in Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians:
"Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace" (Ephesians 2:15).
"And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 3:9
God is in the business of building the Body of Christ today, and He is looking for "faithful" men and women in the ministry of the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (I Cointhians 4:1,2). He appointed Paul, "the Apostle of the Gentiles" (Romans11:13), giving him the blueprints (I Corinthians 3:9-15) for the Church today. Paul and Timothy were faithful in proclaiming "this Mystery among the Gentiles" (I Corinthians 4:15-17). Will you "follow" in their footsteps or be drawn into an extreme teaching?
