The Hidden Mystery of God in Christ Jesus

Joshua,

Thank you for the invitation to post. I can see you have a hunger for God’s Word. 

Your post on May 5 shows a passion for the Word of God, a hunger which the Father uses to draw you to the unveiling of His great mystery kept secret since the world began. Rom 16:25  

God’s purpose for mankind was a mystery hidden throughout the ages revealed by God in God’s timing for God’s glory. Yes, you rightly discern “He’s been repeating it for thousands of years now”. However, the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 

Jesus said “the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” John 14:26 

God has revealed the mystery of His purpose to the born again believer through His Spirit. “For the Spirit searches all things, yes even the hidden depths of God’s purposes.” (1 Cor 2:10)

For no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God, and the Spirit of God makes known to you the things that have been freely given to you by God 1Co 2:11-12  

The natural man cannot discern what God has freely given to you, nor does he receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned by those who are spiritual who have received the mind of Christ. 1Co 2:14-16. And such you are as born again believer.

The mystery is simple and different from every other religion in the world. Most religions of the world have a supreme being, a problem and their solution that requires your personal effort. The difference is their gods can only be please or appeased by their actions and sacrifices. Here is where God’s mystery differs. the Supreme Being is God Almighty, the problem is sin and the answer is love so great that the Son of God, Jesus Christ died for the ungodly. Rm 5:6 God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Rm 5:9. For God made Christ who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Co 5:21  

Christ sacrificed his life’s blood to set you free, so you have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of your sins, according to the great riches of His grace, making known unto us the mystery of His will, and make known to you the secret plan He had already decided to complete by means of Christ, all according to his good pleasure and undeserved mercy. Eph 1:7, 9 Yes, it pleased the Father through Christ to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. Col 1:19-20  And you at one time, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, who were dead in trespasses and sins, far away from God and were his enemies, walking according to the dictates of the spirit of prince of the power of the air– the kingdom of darkness. He has reconciled  in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight. Col 1:21-22

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, so it isn’t something you have earned, so there is nothing you can brag about. Eph 2:8-9. ONLY GOD Who reached down to you with His Free Gift of Grace, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord can reveal the mystery to you and invite you take accept His free gift offered to you.

The Judgement seat of Christ is where the saints will stand to receive their rewards. The Great White Throne is the seat of judgement for all who do not accept God’s free gift. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Jn 3:16

You know the message of the gospel, hopefully these messages posted in your blog will plant and/or water the Good News of reconciliation to God through Jesus Christ, which God will give the increase. We are God’s representatives that He has committed the message of reconciliation, as though He were pleading through us on Christ’s behalf – Be reconciled to God!” 2Co 5:19-20

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be yours!
