Subject: In what way is Christ God's mystery? |
Bible Note: Hi, Yes, indeed, God through his Holy Spirit has enabled us to know and receive the truth, as 1 Cor 2:12 says, "now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God that we might know the things which have been freely given to us by God". And the knowledge of the mystery which we the church have and share which is in Christ and Christ in us his church, has come to us through the NT Scripture, which has in large part been written by Paul, which came to him by revelation, for Gal 1:11-12 says, "For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ." God bless brother. |
