#3 The Secret’s Out!

Paul is the only one in your Bible that teaches the revelation of the mystery of Jesus Christ ~  those things that were kept secret by God since the creation of the world.

No prophet ever foretold of a time when Gentiles would be offered salvation through Israel’s fall (Rom 11:25). No prophet ever foretold of a time when any man could be saved by grace alone, through faith (Eph 2:8-9). You can search the entire Old Testament, as well as the Gospels (including Jesus’ teachings) and you will not find a single word about something called a new creation, (2 Cor 5:17) or the body of Christ made up of believers in Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. (1 Cor 15:1-4)

No where in prophecy is there a mention of both Jews and Gentiles reigning in heavenly places together (Eph 2:6).

Since Paul’s conversion on the Road to Damascus until today, this period of time that is referred to as “the dispensation of grace” or “the age of grace” has lasted for more than 2,000 years, and was never foretold by any prophet, including Jesus!  

But thanks be to God through our Lord Jesus Christ for the revelation that was given to Paul for us all!  It’s not a secret any more!  It’s not a mystery any more!  We can know God’s plan for us today.  We can know his will.  Salvation is a free gift being offered today by faith in the finished work of the cross of Christ, apart from the law.

Rom 3:20-22 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

We live in an amazing time!  Share the secret!
