The Mystery of Shared Deity

There’s a great mystery pronounced and defined by Paul in his letter to the Ephesians. Namely that the Gentiles/Greeks are fellow heirs with Israel.

Let me suggest that their is another component to that great mystery. Namely that God shared his deity with us in giving us The Holy Spirit to dwell within us. Something that he did not do with Israel generally in the Old Testament.

But also God gives us instructions on how to act or behave like God. Namely by loving our fellow man like Jesus loves us (John 13:34)… the New Command.

That is a much higher form of love than “loving our fellow man like we love ourselves” e.g. the second greatest command identified by Jesus.

So God not only shared his deity with us but he showed us how to act like deity. That was the great mystery that was revealed to the spiritual world in Ephesians 3:10.

And that my friends is the greatest of the many blessings that he gave us.
