What does the Bible say about the dispensation of God?
Answered in 1 source
The dispensation of God refers to God's divine stewardship in administering His grace and purpose, particularly in the ministry of the Gospel.
The dispensation of God is a key theme in the New Testament, illustrated in Colossians 1:25 where Paul speaks of being made a minister according to this dispensation. This concept highlights God's ordained plan for the church and His sovereign authority in salvation. It emphasizes that God has appointed ministers to fulfill His Word and to serve the church, a task that is rooted in His grace rather than human effort. Ephesians 3:1-7 further elaborates on this by showing how Paul’s ministry to the Gentiles was part of God's eternal purpose, revealing the mystery of Christ that had been hidden for ages.
