Given Ministry by the Grace of God
Of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power. To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. (Ephesians 3:7-8)
As we have seen, “give” is the language of grace. “I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus” (1 Corinthians 1:4). Our heavenly Father wants to give us all the blessings of His kingdom as a gift of His grace. “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). No wonder then that we are given ministry by the grace of God.
