Bible Question: Why is the death and resurrection of Christ considered a mystery? |
Bible Answer: Greetings FTimA! The mystery of Christ has been revealed - Jesus is God's Perfect provision for the salvation of the whole world. Can you explain HOW this is possible? It's a mystery to me! In your profile you wrote,"How could this have come about by mere chance?". The "mystery of Christ" relies upon the same answer. (GOD alone) We know through God's Word that He saves man based upon faith alone (Eph. 2:8-10 et al)But can we explain HOW God saves? HOW means, what is the process that takes place in us that we degenerates become righteous, acceptable to God? When we do not understand HOW something "works," we often call it a mystery. The same can be applied to HOW God declares us righteous by the shed blood of Christ . . . can you explain HOW Christ's ressurection insures the same for us as believers? It's a mystery to me, yet knowing the One who keeps secrets (Dt 29:29)enables my heart to have confidence that He is faithful to do as He promises. Blessings on your day. Mommapbs |
