Paul calls himself the least of all saints. A humble position for one who was once a proud Pharisee. We are better to downgrade ourselves, than to upgrade ourselves. We have some rich phrases in these verses. The first is "the unsearchable riches of Christ." That means we can't know it all, but it doesn't mean we can't know what is here for us to know. Then we have the "fellowship of the mystery" hidden from the foundation of the world but now revealed. The Old Testament never mentioned the Gentile church in prophecy, but now we can know about it freely. How poor we are if we don't get to know what is ours. The Bible reveals it all to us. Get to know the Bible, especially the New Testament. Next we have the term "the manifold wisdom of God." We can know it. Why not seek this? It's ours.
Next boldness and access with confidence. We have every right to the very presence of God because of Christ's work on the cross. Have you made this yours?
