God’s Mystery
What is God’s mystery?
A mystery is a secret, an unknown thing.
Something that is not easily understood.
But, God’s mystery has now been revealed to
anyone who will ask, seek, and knock, as Jesus
has said. God’s mystery is, Christ in you, the hope
of glory and you complete in Christ. This secret was
hidden from the past generations before the cross
and the victory of the resurrection. The demons
did not know the secret, so they participated unknowingly
in the revealing of the secret by nailing Jesus to the
cross thinking they had the victory only to be defeated
on the third day in the resurrection of Jesus. Jesus became
the Messiah, the Savior, the Christ. And, then it was revealed
that by God’s act we were placed in Jesus at His death and
then were raised from the grave in Him to be given His new
resurrection life. Thereby, our inner persons were taken in
Jesus through the cross and the old was left behind in death and
we entered the new realm of resurrection eternal life in Christ.
Therefore, when our physical bodies go into death, our
inner person will not die but continues in union with and in
Christ. Our inner person will be placed in our new resurrection
bodies when Christ returns to the earth in victory and
we will be physically with Him forever and ever.
This is our hope of glory, which is assured by our faith
and the faithfulness of the One in whom we believe.
(See Romans 6:1-13; Galatian 2:20 & Colossians 1: 27-28)
