Efesios 3:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ephesians 3:6

That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs
With the Jews, of all the blessings of grace, of lasting salvation, and of the eternal, incorruptible, and never fading inheritance in heaven; that they should be heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ Jesus, and inherit all things: and heirs they are by being Christ's, and on account of their special adoption through him, and their justification by his righteousness; and which appears by their regeneration to a lively hope of the inheritance reserved for them in heaven:

and of the same body:
coalesce in one and the same church state, with the believing Jews, under one and the same head, Christ Jesus, and participate of the same grace from him, being all baptized into one body, and made to drink of the same Spirit, and enjoy the same privileges and immunities.

And partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel;
as of God, being their covenant God, which is the great promise of the covenant; or of the Spirit, his gifts and graces, called the promise of the Spirit; or of eternal life and happiness, as the gift of grace through Christ. Now all these promises, and all others, are in Christ, yea and amen, safe and secure; and it is through being in Christ that any come to partake of them; and that by the means of the Gospel, as these Gentiles were to do, and did: the Gospel is a declaration of what God has promised in covenant to his people; this was carried among the Gentiles, and was made effectual to their participation of the things contained in it.

Efesios 3:6 In-Context

4 En vista de lo cual, leyendo, podréis comprender mi discernimiento del misterio de Cristo,
5 que en otras generaciones no se dio a conocer a los hijos de los hombres, como ahora ha sido revelado a sus santos apóstoles y profetas por el Espíritu;
6 a saber, que los gentiles son coherederos y miembros del mismo cuerpo, participando igualmente de la promesa en Cristo Jesús mediante el evangelio,
7 del cual fui hecho ministro, conforme al don de la gracia de Dios que se me ha concedido según la eficacia de su poder.
8 A mí, que soy menos que el más pequeño de todos los santos, se me concedió esta gracia: anunciar a los gentiles las inescrutables riquezas de Cristo,
