The mystery God revealed, especially to Paul the apostle, was that Gentiles did not have to become Jews in order to become Christian, and that all believers in Jesus, both Jew and Gentile make up the body of Christ, and are a part of the family of God. It is this truth that placed Paul as a prisoner of the Romans, but Paul understood that really he was a prisoner of the Lord. Paul also stated that as believers in Christ, we also have access to God the Father, and it is all because of what Christ did when He died on the cross, and who we are IN Christ. As believers in Christ, we are God's people, His church, and as such we display to the world and to the heavens the manifold, multi-colored, multi-faceted, and richly diversified, wisdom of God. We show God's glory.
