~ The Mystery of God ~
Introduction ~ Do you love a good mystery? If so, then you should love reading the
Bible. The Scriptures are full of good
mysteries! An important factor to
keep in mind when exploring Biblical mysteries is that the word mystery in Scripture has a root meaning
of previously withheld. Biblical
mysteries were previously unexplained—but now are revealed to God’s immediate
family.
Scripture ~ “For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for
you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the
flesh, that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and
attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both
of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge” (Colossians 2:1-3).
“But
in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as
He declared to His servants the prophets” (Revelation 10:7).
Comment ~ The
mystery is the Church of Jesus Christ which began at Pentecost and will
conclude with the rapture. “For as the
body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being
many, are one body, so also is Christ. For
by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body — whether Jews or Greeks,
whether slaves or free — and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For
in fact the body is not one member but many” (1 Corinthians 12:12-14).
The Bottom Line
~ Will you study the Word of God
and apply it to your life? Or will you
waste your time on earth and the many opportunities which God gives to
you. The mysteries of Scripture are
revealed to the children of God who seek to please Him. As you comprehend the mysteries contained in
the Word of God you will possess understanding and wisdom with regard to
current world events. Time is short, if
you are not already on God’s side, I urge you to climb on board before it is
forever too late.
