Answered in 1 source
The church manifests God's manifold wisdom by displaying how He saves and unifies diverse sinners through Christ.
The church is described as the means through which God makes known His manifold wisdom (Ephesians 3:10). This wisdom is the divine strategy of uniting both Jews and Gentiles in Christ into one body, demonstrating the breadth of God's grace and the depth of His love. The church, though comprised of sinful individuals, showcases God’s redemptive purpose and His ability to transform lives. As the elect, the church is called to live out this Gospel message, highlighting God's sovereignty in salvation and His eternal purpose for humanity, serving as a testament to both the world and the angels.
